Information to end March 2008 on the numbers of shared ownership transactions in each local authority area is available on my Department's website at www.environ.ie. Information is also published in my Department's Housing Statistics Bulletins, copies of which are available in the Oireachtas Library.

Loan finance of €220 million, from the Housing Finance Agency, was available in each of the past three years to underpin activity under the Shared Ownership Scheme. Some €129 million, €99 million and €137 million was drawn down by local authorities from these allocations in 2005, 2006 and 2007, respectively.
