In December 2011 NAMA identified over 2,000 properties as being potentially available for social housing, including 57 units in Galway City.

From this list of 2,000 properties a number of projects have been identified as being suitable for social housing, and these are being advanced for inclusion in the leasing scheme. These projects are at different stages of development and I expect that housing units will start to be delivered under this arrangement by the middle of this year.
