I have not yet received the report referred to in my reply to Question No. 85 of the 26 of January last. I understand that the report is currently being prepared by the Chair of the task force but in order to finalise this, the Chair is awaiting finalisation of the 2022 social housing delivery data which is currently being validated and should be available in the coming weeks.

I will make the report available to the Deputy when it has been received and reviewed by me.

The Galway Housing Task Force held its most recent quarterly meeting in late February 2023 and will continue to hold quarterly meetings to support progress on the delivery of social and affordable housing as well as dealing with related challenges such as homelessness.
