Information to end September 2006 on the number of social and affordable homes acquired under Part V of the Planning and Development Acts 2000-2006 is published in my Department's Quarterly Housing Statistics Bulletins, copies of which are available in the Oireachtas Library and also on my Department's website at www.environ.ie.

Provisional annual data for 2006 indicate that some 2,180 social and affordable homes were acquired under Part V last year. This represents an increase of almost 60% on the corresponding level of delivery achieved in 2005.
