I propose to take Questions Nos. 545 and 546 together.

The Government's Rebuilding Ireland Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness provides for the delivery of 50,000 social housing homes out to 2021. This ambitious target is supported by funding of over €6 billion. This will be achieved using a range of delivery mechanisms including build, remediation, acquisition and leasing.

Details in relation to housing purchased and built in all local authority areas are available on my Department’s website at the following link: . Information on quarter three of 2017 is currently being finalised and will be published shortly.

Details in relation to the Social Housing Current Expenditure Programme (SHCEP) for 2014 and 2015 are set out in Tables 1 and 2. Data for 2016 is available on the website at the link above. Information for 2011 to 2013 is only available on a cumulative basis and is on the website, with data for 2017 to be published shortly.

The Voids Programme was introduced in 2014 and has seen over 7,000 social homes remediated and relet from 2014-16. Breakdowns by each local authority are set out in Table 3.  I anticipate that over 1,400 units will be remediated under the Programme in 2017.

The targets under Rebuilding Ireland are to be achieved using a combination of building, purchasing and leasing high quality properties to meet the needs of households on local authority waiting lists around the country. Table 4 sets out the targets under the main programme areas for each year of Rebuilding Ireland.

In terms of the specific categories of delivery referred to by the Deputy, Table 5 shows the elements of the build activity of almost 33,500 social homes targeted under Rebuilding Ireland, including homes that will be built directly by local authorities and AHBs, properties constructed for social housing through Part V and refurbished properties/Voids, together with some 6,500 acquisitions, over the period 2016 to 2021.

I will shortly be issuing new targets for social housing delivery to each local authority for the period to 2021 in line with the Rebuilding Ireland national targets.
