1627. Deputy Aindrias Moynihan asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the number of tenant in situ acquisition applications received, approved, refused and completed by Cork County Council in 2024, 2025 and to date in 2026, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [55607/26]

The administration of acquisitions under the Social Housing Second Hand Acquisitions Programme, including for tenancy sustainment (via tenant in situ), is delegated to local authorities. Accordingly, data on the number of applications received or refused in any given year is not captured by my Department and should be sought directly from local authorities.

My Department publishes programme-level statistics quarterly for social housing delivery, including for social housing acquisitions. These data are currently available to end Q1 2026 and can be accessed at:
