According to the preliminary Census figures released in June 2022, 166,752 vacant dwellings were recorded in Census 2022. The preliminary information also provided a breakdown by reason, this is available at:

www.cso.ie/en/releasesandpublications/ep/p-cpr/censusofpopulation2022-preliminaryresults/housing/

It should be noted that the Census measure of vacancy is a point in time indicator taken on Census night as to whether the property was inhabited or not on Sunday 3 April 2022, and is not intended to be a measure of long term vacancy or that these properties are available for re-use. A dwelling is classed as vacant by Census enumerators if it is unoccupied on Census night, is not used as a holiday home and is not usually inhabited by occupants who are temporarily absent at the time of census. Dwellings under construction and derelict properties are also not included in the Census count of vacant dwellings. The Census information does not include information on the valuation of properties.

Therefore, my Department or Revenue do not have the necessary information to calculate an estimate of the revenue effects sought by the Deputy.
