The Shared Ownership Scheme was introduced in 1991 and was stood down in 2011.  From 1991 to 2010, a total of 16,492 loans were issued under the scheme, of which 3,585 remained at the end of Q1 2017.  The attached table gives a breakdown of outstanding Shared Ownership loans by local authority at the end of Q1 2017.

To ensure effective targeting of limited resources, local authority house purchase loan finance, including finance advanced in the past for the purchase of properties under the Shared Ownership Scheme, is targeted at first time buyers only. 

The information requested in relation to loans advanced by each local authority, local authority mortgage arrears and local authority repossessions (both forced and voluntary) is available on my Department's website at the following link: http://www.housing.gov.ie/housing/statistics/house-prices-loans-and-profile-borrowers/local-authority-loan-activity.  This data is not broken down by loan type.
