Data on the commencement of residential dwellings, at local authority level, are published monthly on my Department's website at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/publication/a5cb1-construction-activity-starts/

The data show 686 commencement notices for new homes were received in Fingal County Council in October and November 2023, the second highest for this period since records began in 2014.

Commencement data for December are due to be published in the coming days.

The information requested is not held by my Department. The data may be sought from the local authority directly.

The oversight and practical management of housing waiting lists, including the allocation and transfer of tenancies, is solely a matter for the relevant local authority in accordance with the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009, and associated regulations.
