Local Authorities provide information on the proportion of the housing stock that is vacant at the end of each year, and this information is collated and published as part of the annual Service Indicators in Local Authorities Report. Copies of the 2010 report are available from the Local Government Management Services Board and may be downloaded from their website (www.lgmsb.ie).

Under section 58 of the Housing Act 1966, the management and maintenance of the local authority housing stock, including the compilation and funding of ongoing maintenance programmes, is a matter for individual authorities.

Detailed information in relation to the number of vacant properties in Trim, by house type, or the number of properties which are under repair, is not available in my Department.
