My Department does not collate data on the numbers of social housing units owned by individual local authorities nor those disaggregated by electoral boundaries. This information may be available from Cork County Council.
The National Oversight and Audit Commission (NOAC) produces an annual Performance Indicator Report for local authorities, which details a range of performance indicators for local authorities, including local authority owned social housing stock.
The most recent report, relating to 2022, is available on the NOAC website at the following link: www.noac.ie/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/20231009-NOAC-PI-Report-2022-FINAL.pdf
The 2022 report indicates that at local authority level, Cork County had 8,004 dwellings in the ownership of the local authority as at 31/12/2022. The percentage of the total number of LA owned dwellings that were vacant was 4.82% or 386 dwellings.
