Planning statistics are compiled by each planning authority on an annual basis for collation and publication on my Department’s website, at the following link:
.
However, the data collected relates to the total number of applications and decisions for all developments that require planning permission, broken down by year and planning authority but are not broken down by reason for the grant or refusal of permission, including in respect of one-off housing in rural areas affecting the indigenous population.

Data is available at the following link on the CSO website: .
