My Department collates and publishes a wide range of housing statistics that inform the preparation and evaluation of housing policy. Among the areas of activity covered are statistics on: · the delivery of various social and affordable housing supports · housing construction activity · inspections in the private rented sector · house prices and lending activity

My Department collates data, on the basis of returns from the financial institutions, on mortgage approvals and these data are broken down into fixed and variable mortgage subsets. Information regarding split mortgages is not collated. The data collated pertaining to mortgages paid are not broken down into fixed, variable or split analyses. The full range of data compiled can be viewed on my Department's website, www.environ.ie.
