262. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government if consideration will be given to establishing a Dublin regional housing delivery task force on the lines of proposals for Cork and Galway in view of the large number of households in emergency homeless accommodation and on housing waiting lists in the greater Dublin area; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As part of the implementation of Construction 2020 – A Strategy for a Renewed Construction Sector, a Housing Supply Coordination Taskforce for Dublin was established in June 2014 and comprises of representatives from my Department, each of the four Dublin local authorities, NAMA and other agencies.

The focus of the Taskforce is to address supply-related issues relating to the delivery of housing in the Dublin region and to track data on planning permissions and housing activity. The data collated by the Taskforce on the aggregated planning permissions and planning applications across the four Dublin local authorities is mapped and available on my Department's website at the following link:

Further information in relation to housing under construction, including social housing units to be provided within relevant developments under Part V of the Planning and Development Act 2000 or otherwise, will be available from the relevant Dublin local authority.

The Task Force meets quarterly and the reports are published on my Department's website at the following link: www.housing.gov.ie/housing/construction-2020-strategy/dublin-housing-supply-task-force/housing-supply-coordination-task.
