My Department provides funding to all local authorities, including Mayo County Council, to support the delivery of new social homes via a range of programmes, including through build, acquisition and leasing. Statistics on all social housing delivery activity including via build programmes, is publicly available on my Department’s website, at the following link: .

In addition to the statistics on delivery over the years by each local authority, a detailed Social Housing Construction Status Report is published quarterly and provides scheme level detail on new build social housing activity for the local authorities, including projects that are on site, in planning or design and completed projects. The most recent publication covers the period up to the end of Q4 2020 and is available at the following link: .
