I propose to take Questions Nos. 309 and 310 together.

Details on the number of social housing properties constructed, purchased and leased by local authorities and AHBs, for letting to those on their social housing waiting lists, are published on my Department’s website at the following link: . Some of these details are currently being finalised in respect of quarter four of 2016 and will be published shortly, with information on quarter one 2017 to follow thereafter.

My intention is that the delivery of social housing will continued to be accelerated and the target of 21,000 social housing units for 2017 under Rebuilding Ireland  will be fully achieved. This target is broken down as follows:

Delivery Method2017 Targets
Construction2,284
Refurbishments/Voids766
Regeneration150
Acquisitions1,250
Leasing600
Rental Accommodation Scheme1,000
Housing Assistance Payment15,000
Total21,050
