The local authority homes that have been built in counties Longford and Westmeath in 2016 and 2017 are set out in the Social Housing Construction Status Report which is published on a quarterly basis. That report contains information on all new social housing construction, both that contracted by the local authorities and that being advanced by AHBs in agreement with the authorities.

The report covering the period up to the end of Quarter 4 2017 was published on 19 April 2018 and is available on the Rebuilding Ireland website at the following link: . The report is also available on Ireland's Open Data Portal at the following link: which provides the information in a reusable format. The report covering the period to the end of quarter 1 of 2018 is being complied and will be available shortly.

My Department also publishes a wide range of statistical information in relation to housing, including the number of houses that have been built, acquired or leased by local authorities. Those statistics are available on my Department's website at the following link: . Details relating to delivery in each quarter of 2018 will be published as soon as the statistics are gathered and validated.
