I assume the Deputy is referring to residential type properties housing within military installations. The allocation of such housing is decided locally by the military authorities. My Department has requested updated statistics on same and I will arrange to forward these to the Deputy when available.

The administration of the derelict sites register is a matter for the relevant local authority.
