Statistics in relation to new social housing obtained under Part V will be published on my Department's website in respect of the full year 2016 within a month, approximately.  Statistics in relation to 2017 will also be published when assembled and validated.

As with all elements of Rebuilding Ireland, progress in respect of Part V delivery will be covered within the reporting and governance arrangements that apply to the Plan, including engagement with the Oireachtas.
