Currently there are 20 local authority capital construction projects for new general social housing developments lodged with my Department for initial approval in principle. The following are the numbers per local authority:

Clare County Council4 projects
Cork County Council1 project
Offaly County Council3 projects
Monaghan County Council1 project
Limerick City & County Council1 project
Sligo County Council1 project
Donegal County Council1 project
Kildare County Council1 project
Wexford County Council7 projects
These numbers change constantly as new approvals are issued and as local authorities lodge new proposals. The development of new proposals is greatly assisted by the ongoing dialogue at technical level in relation to projects, which is now a feature of engagement between my Department and local authorities.
