My Department publishes comprehensive programme-level statistics on a quarterly basis on social housing delivery activity by local authorities and Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs) in each local authority. These statistics provide delivery data at local authority level, including data on housing delivery vs targets. Data is available to the end of Q4 2025 and is published on the statistics page of my Department’s website at the following link:

https://www.gov.ie/en/collection/6060e-overall-social-housing-provision/

Data for Q1 2026 is being collated and will be available in due course.

My Department also publishes the Social Housing Construction Status Report (CSR), which provides details of social housing developments and their location that have been completed, are under construction or are progressing through the various stages of the design and tender processes. The most recent publication was for Quarter 4 2025. All CSRs are available at the following link:

https://www.gov.ie/en/collection/cb885-social-housing-construction-projects-status-reports/

A version of the CSR file can also be downloaded for analysis by local authority, location, etc. at this link:

Further to this, all local authorities, including Cork County Council, have published their Housing Delivery Action Plans (HDAPs) for the period 2022 to 2026 on their websites. These action plans set out how the local authorities will meet their current housing targets.

Under the new housing plan, Cork County Council will prepare a new HDAP setting out their planned delivery of social housing to 2030. In preparing their HDAP, the local authorities will reflect local need to ensure the right mix of homes to respond to needs and priorities. It is expected that new HDAPs will be in place by Q4 2026.
