I propose to take Questions Nos. 384 and 385 together.

Local authorities are encouraged to acquire vacant/derelict properties to be upgraded as new, value-for-money social homes via the Buy & Renew Scheme. Since it was introduced in 2016, in excess of 800 properties have been delivered under this arrangement.

The table below outlines the average cost in that time of 1/2/3/4 bed units delivered under the Buy and Renew Scheme in Dublin and outside Dublin.
