I propose to take Questions Nos. 143, 144 and 146 together.

My Department publishes a wide range of statistical information on social housing delivery and these are available on the Department’s website at the following link: .

The information on the website is up to date as of the end of quarter 3 2016; information for the full year of 2016 is currently being finalised and will be published shortly.

The following table sets out the funding provided by my Department to local authorities for the acquisition of new and previously owned housing and apartments for social housing use in 2015 and 2016. This includes direct purchases, purchases under Part V arrangements and the delivery of turnkey projects. It is important to note that some local authorities also fund acquisitions from their own resources, such as local property tax receipts; such expenditure is not reflected in the table.

Other statistics on local authority housing stock are published by the Local Government Management Agency. The most recent of these are the Service Indicators in local authorities for 2015, which are available at the following link: .
