Information to end September 2006 on the number of housing units provided under the various affordable housing schemes in each local authority area 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.

While final data for the final quarter of 2006 are not yet available, provisional figures supplied by Kildare County Council, if confirmed, would indicate that 159 affordable units were delivered in the county over the course of 2006 as a whole. Detailed information on the cost of these units to applicants and on the mechanism used to determine these costs is not available in my Department.
