I propose to take Questions Nos. 547 and 548 together.

My Department publishes comprehensive programme-level statistics on a quarterly basis for social housing delivery, including numbers of completed social housing acquisitions by local authorities. Those statistics show that 1,829 such acquisitions were completed in 2023 by the local authorities, with 1,081 of these being tenant in situ. In 2024, 1,501 were completed with 1,054 of the these being tenant in situ. This data is published on the statistics page of my Department’s website, at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/collection/6060e-overall-social-housing-provision/, and is broken down by each local authority.

The figures for Q1 2025 are being collated and verified at this time and the results of same will be issued on the Departments website shortly.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 549 and 550 together.

The funding of local authority acquisitions, including tenant in situ, is in the main through my Department's Social Housing Investment Programme (SHIP). The table below set out the funding provided to local authorities under SHIP for their acquisitions activity, including those for tenant in situ which was introduced in 2023.

The expenditure covers all areas of acquisitions activity, such as funding the purchase price, the legal and professional fees to transact the sale and also necessary refurbishment works required to the property. Note that expenditure in a year can include costs on a property not necessarily delivered in that year.
