2018 Social Housing Targets and Delivery Outputs to end Q2 2018, along with numbers of projects under construction in each local authority area, including the four Dublin local authorities, are available on the Rebuilding Ireland website at the following link:

The Q2 2018 Construction Status Report shows a strong build pipeline is in place across the Dublin area with 214 projects and 4,804 homes already completed or in the pipeline, with more projects coming on-stream during 2018.  This report can be found at the following link:

My Department engages with all local authorities on a regular basis regarding the delivery of social housing. This includes structured quarterly meetings to review progress and in the case of the four Dublin local authorities, monthly meetings are held. I am confident that the actions, targets and resources available to all local authorities, including the four Dublin local authorities, under Rebuilding Ireland, provide a strong platform for meeting our challenges in the housing sector and I am satisfied that overall delivery of the Plan remains firmly on track.
