I propose to take Questions Nos. 1799 and 1801 together.

Statistics in relation to social housing stock are collated by the National Oversight and Audit Commission (NOAC) in their annual reports on Performance Indicators in Local Authorities.  These statistics are set out by local authority and include the percentage of such dwellings that were vacant at the end of the year, with the last year for which the statistics are available being 2015.  This report is available at the following link: http://noac.ie/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/2015-PI-Report.pdf.
