MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
Monday, October 14, 2019
QUESTION NO. 19
QUESTION: Councillor Shane Moynihan
To ask the Chief Executive to provide a detailed report, by electoral area in tabular form for each year, on the number of social houses acquired, purchased or built by South Dublin County Council since January 2011 and if he will make a statement on the matter.
REPLY:
The Council’s acquisition and build programme has delivered a total of 590 new homes over the period 2011 to date in 2019. The current housing strategy under Rebuilding Ireland has provided increased funding allocation from the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government with resultant increased delivery of social housing from 2017 onwards following a number of years of limited provision.
The table below details the social housing supply delivered directly by the Council for the period 2011 to date across the local electoral areas at the time of provision:

The Council’s target for delivery in 2019 from the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government under the capital supply programme (which includes properties provided by Approved Housing Bodies) in 2019 is 511 homes. To date, 187 properties have been delivered and a detailed Housing Supply Report is presented quarterly to Area Committees with the latest updates on the capital supply programme. The Council is committed to continued social housing delivery through our social housing construction programme and through the planned development of larger Council owned sites across the County.
