I propose to take Questions Nos. 482 and 483 together.

Comprehensive data on the number of social and affordable housing units constructed are only collected on a quarterly basis. My Department is currently compiling data which reflect activity in the fourth quarter of 2007, completing the picture of activity during the year as a whole. The latest information available, for the period ended September 2007, is published in the Quarter 3 2007 Housing Statistics Bulletin, which is available in the Oireachtas library, and on the Department's website at www.environ.ie.
