288. Deputy Martin Daly asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the number of vacant local authority dwellings in County Roscommon and County Galway; the length of time each property has remained vacant; and the reason each dwelling remains unoccupied, in tabular form. [52469/26]

Data on the quantum of social homes vacant at a moment in time, the length of time they've been vacant, the reasons they're vacant, and the steps being taken to bring them back to productive use, are a matter solely for local authorities. Accordingly, data on the quantum of social homes owned by Roscommon and Galway County Councils, and vacant at any time, should be sought directly from the respective Councils.

That said, data on the management of social homes are published by the National Oversight and Audit Commission (NOAC) in its Annual Reports on Performance Indicators in Local Authorities. These reports provide a range of information in relation to social housing stock, including levels of vacancy and average turnaround times in local authority owned properties.

The most recent NOAC report for 2024 is available at www.noac.ie/noac_publications/report-77-noac-performance-indicator-report-2024/.
