I propose to take Questions Nos. 609 and 624 together.

Following the first phase of my review of Rebuilding Ireland and with the provision made under Budget 2018 for social housing delivery, there is now a greater emphasis on direct build activity by local authorities and Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs).  The following table sets out the targets in respect of social housing under the main programme areas for each year of Rebuilding Ireland.

In terms of the specific categories of delivery referred to by the Deputy, the following table shows the elements of the build activity of almost 33,500  social housing homes, including homes that will be built directly by local authorities and AHBs, as well as properties constructed for social housing through Part V and refurbished properties/Voids, together with some 6,500 acquisitions, over the period 2016 to 2021.
