Annual Housing Statistics
Bulletin 2008
FOREWORD BY MINISTER OF STATE
I am pleased to present the 2008 Annual Housing Statistics Bulletin. The Bulletin
reports on the broad spectrum of housing activity which took place over the course
of last year. It also highlights some of the principal policy developments during
2008 and gives a comprehensive picture of the outputs achieved through the various
social and affordable housing programmes, reflecting the significant investment
directed at assisting less well off households.
As we all know very well at this stage, 2008 heralded a significant period of change
for the global economy which impacted significantly on the Irish housing market
through tightening of credit and poor consumer sentiment. In response, the
Government introduced a number of initiatives, through a new Home Choice Loan
operated through the local authorities and through the bank recapitalisation
programme, to improve the flow of credit for those who wish to purchase their own
home; however, activity in the housing market has remained subdued, with
significant reductions in the overall volume and value of new mortgage lending.
All of the indicators of housing activity – completions, registrations and
commencements - showed significant reductions through 2008 and the contraction
in activity has continued into 2009.
However, despite the significant challenges in the housing sector, activity under the
various housing programmes in 2008 has provided for the accommodation needs of
over 20,000 households to be met, an increase of 10% on 2007. During last year, my
Department maintained a strong focus on meeting the housing needs of the most
vulnerable in society; for example, I launched a new homeless strategy in August
2008 and the new housing adaptation grant schemes for older people and people
with a disability also became more fully established last year. Reflecting the core
objective of achieving quality housing outcomes, last year again saw a strong
emphasis on the regeneration of our existing housing stock, with some €217 million
made available to local authorities for regeneration and social housing improvement
measures, with particular emphasis on new programmes that also enhance the
environmental performance of housing. In addition, the implementation of the
housing reform agenda set out in our 2007 housing policy statement, Delivering
Homes, Sustaining Communities, took an important step forward in 2008 with the
1
publication of the underpinning legislation, the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions)
Bill 2008, which was subsequently enacted in July 2009.
Towards the end of last year, the results of the 2008 Housing Needs Assessment
carried out by local authorities were published, showing net housing need rising by
over 30% to over 56,000 households since the previous assessment in 2005; more
detailed analysis of the Assessment results are presented later in this Bulletin.
Against the background of this increase in needs and the very stark reality of the
more limited resources available to Government, I have been progressing a
considerable restructuring of the Social Housing Investment Programme by giving
priority to a range of creative and flexible measures.
The most significant part of that restructuring is the use of long term lease
arrangements for the provision of social housing. I indicated last year that we
would be working to get these arrangements in place in 2009 and my Department,
in co-operation with the local authorities and the voluntary and co-operative
housing sector, is actively working to secure some 2,000 units of accommodation
under these arrangements this year. In combination with new units delivered for
social housing through the Rental Accommodation Scheme, leasing will account for
approximately 50% of all social housing completions this year. This will ensure that
we can meet significantly more housing needs than would be possible if we relied
on traditional construction and acquisition programmes alone. Given the
constrained resource environment that we will continue to face in the years ahead,
leasing and other innovative arrangements for meeting housing needs will assume
even greater importance.
I hope that this Bulletin will prove to be useful to all readers. The full historic series
of statistics is also available on the Department’s website at www.environ.ie.

Part 1
Overview
The key objective of Irish housing policy is to enable every household to have
available an affordable dwelling of good quality, suited to its needs, in a good
environment and, as far as possible, at the tenure of its choice
Since 1998, close to 700,000 new houses/apartments were completed in Ireland.
Record levels of annual housing output came to an end in 2007, with a year on year
decrease in output of 17% on the 2006 level. The slowdown in output was more
pronounced in 2008 with a total of 51,724 houses and apartments completed. Of
these, some 11,342 houses/apartments were completed in Dublin, with a total of
16,318 provided in the Greater Dublin Area (GDA). 34% of the houses built in 2008
were single houses, with the remainder developed across schemes of varying sizes.
Apartments accounted for 25% of all new completions in 2008. The rate of housing
output in Ireland, at 12 dwellings per 1,000 persons in 2008, remained ahead of most
other countries.
Key factors in the sharp turn around of housing output were the doubling of
interest rates, which combined with very high prices, caused significant
deterioration in house purchase affordability in 2006/7. While it was believed a
substantial market correction would allow the housing market and the wider
economy to enter a period of more moderate, soundly based growth, the global
downturn and the “credit crunch” resulted in further significant contraction in the
housing market in 2008, notwithstanding significant interest rate reductions in the
latter stages of the year, which continued into 2009. Forecasts of housing output for
2009 are in the region of 20,000 – 25,000 units.
There has been a sustained and targeted programme of investment in recent years to
address the housing needs of the less well off in Irish society. This continued in 2008
with €2.4 billion of funding invested, an increase of 14% on 2007. As a result of this
investment, over 20,200 households benefited from the various social and affordable
housing schemes in 2008. 15,467 households in need of social housing were assisted
and 4,567 households benefited from affordable housing measures, with a further
189 households aided by the Mortgage Allowance Scheme.
Detailed statistical tables are provided in Appendix I.

Key Policy Developments in 2008
Housing Policy
Implementation of the reform agenda set out in the housing policy statement,
Delivering Homes, Sustaining Communities - published early in 2007 – has been a clear
priority in 2008. In the second half of the year in particular, there has also been a
clear focus on developing appropriate and effective responses across a range of
housing programmes to take account of the deteriorating economic and fiscal
environment. A number of these measures became fully operational in the early
part of 2009 and are likely to play a major role in the delivery of housing supports
in the coming years. A number of specific developments are set out below.
Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2008 (enacted in July 2009)
A key milestone in the delivery of the reform agenda was reached with the recent
enactment of the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill which was published in
July 2008. The purpose of the Act is to improve housing services and their delivery,
by amending and extending the Housing Acts 1966 to 2004 to give effect to the
programme of social housing reform measures outlined in the Delivering Homes,
Sustaining Communities policy statement.
The Act includes a comprehensive statement of housing services provided by local
authorities and provision for elected members to make housing services plans for
the delivery in their areas of social and affordable housing supports. There are new
powers for the Minister to issue policy directions, with which housing authorities
must comply, and guidelines, to which housing authorities must have regard, in the
performance of their statutory functions.
There are also new powers for elected members to adopt strategies for the
prevention and reduction of anti-social behaviour in the local authority housing
stock; to assess a household’s need and eligibility for housing; and a new power to
make allocation schemes setting out the order of priority for the allocation, by
managers, of local authority housing, rental accommodation through, for example,
the Rental Accommodation Scheme (RAS) and Voluntary and Co-operative housing
provided with Exchequer funding.
The Act also broadens the choices available to those seeking social and affordable
housing by providing a more developed legislative basis for RAS and by expanding
paths to home ownership through the new incremental purchase scheme, the
introduction of a Tenant Purchase Scheme for apartments and the introduction of
new Affordable Dwelling Purchase Arrangements.
Long Term Leasing
Under the new Long Term Leasing initiative announced in Budget 2009, authorities
will procure properties on long-term leases of 10-20 years which will then be made
available for social housing purposes. The introduction of leasing is designed to
widen further the sources of supply for social housing and thereby help create a
6
flexible range of delivery mechanisms for local authorities to meet the demand for
housing.
This initiative will also maximise the level of social housing need that can be met
from available public resources, leading to many more homes being provided than
could be delivered by relying solely on construction and acquisition programmes. It
is envisaged that leasing will, over the coming years, become an integral part of the
social housing programme. The target set for 2009 is for a minimum of 2,000 units
to be provided through leasing.
Rental Accommodation Scheme (RAS)
Strong performance under the rental accommodation scheme continued in 2008. All
local authorities are implementing RAS and over 18,000 former rent supplement
recipients with long term housing need have now transferred. RAS represents an
important element of the Government’s housing policy and one that it is, along with
the new long term leasing initiative, set to assume an increasingly prominent role in
meeting housing needs in the future.
Regeneration
The Department continues to place a significant focus on quality in the provision of
housing and in the achievement of sustainable communities. However, the
Department’s role in this regard is not just focused on new housing, but also is
centrally concerned with the regeneration of some of the country’s most
disadvantaged areas e.g. Ballymun in Dublin City and Moyross in Limerick City.
The process of regeneration is based upon achieving not just the physical
regeneration of the areas, but also on delivering social and economic regeneration to
the communities concerned. This holistic approach involves a broad range of
Government Departments and State agencies, as well as local community and
business interests.
In 2008, the Department provided some €126 million to support regeneration
projects across the country, an increase of 35% of the previous year’s investment.
This funding supported the ongoing projects at Ballymun, Knocknaheeny and the
Glen in Cork City, as well as the area regeneration underway across Waterford City,
and the completion of the regeneration at Laurel Avenue in Dun Laoghaire
Rathdown County Council. The programme also supported the development of the
draft masterplans for the regeneration of Moyross, Southill, Ballinacurra Weston,
and St. Mary’s Park in Limerick City, as well as 350 house demolitions, area
improvement works, and various social inclusion activities.
In addition, 2008 saw the approval of a new regeneration project at Mitchel’s
Crescent in Tralee. This project represents a new type of regeneration project where
smaller areas of regional towns are regenerated with a particular focus on the
energy efficiency agenda. The Department continued to work with Sligo Borough
Council and Dundalk Town Council on the development of masterplans for similar
regeneration projects at Cranmore in Sligo and Cox’s Demesne in Dundalk.
7
Remedial Works
Since 1985, some €460 million has been allocated to the programme which supports
projects ranging from the refurbishment of small rural cottages to broad
programmes of estate improvements, house refurbishments, and infill developments
in large local authority estates. In 2008, the Department supported 50 projects in 30
local authority areas, at a cost to the Exchequer of some €53 million. This
represents a significant increase on the €34 million expended in 2007 and
demonstrates the Department’s commitment to ensuring the ongoing viability of the
social housing stock as well as providing support for the development of
sustainable communities within existing local authority estates.
Environmental Performance of Housing
In addition to the national remedial works programme and an ambitious portfolio
of regeneration projects, 2008 also saw the continuation of the national central
heating programme as well as preparatory work on a number of new initiatives
reflecting the growing importance of improving the energy efficiency of the housing
stock. These initiatives achieve not only significant environmental returns but are
also labour intensive and support economic activity.
Central Heating
Although central heating has been provided in all new local authority dwellings as
a matter of course since 1994, a Departmental review in 2003 revealed that there
were an estimated 36,000 dwellings constructed prior to this date without any form
of central heating. To address this significant deficit, a special programme was
introduced in 2004 for the installation of central heating, associated thermal
insulation measures, and temperature controls. 2008 saw the investment of a
further €31 million and the installation of central heating and associated energy
efficiency improvements in some 6,900 units. Over the period of the scheme, the
Department has co-funded a total of 25,650 installations at a cost to the exchequer of
€125 million.
Towards Carbon Neutral
To support local authorities in building their expertise in delivering highly energy
efficient dwellings, the Department issued a call for proposals to local authorities in
late 2008, requesting proposals for projects that would deliver significant energy
efficiencies. It was anticipated that projects would exceed the anticipated standards
of the Building Regulations Part L 2010 to deliver a minimum Building Energy
Rating [BER] of A2. In addition it was envisaged that these projects would operate
as demonstration projects, the learnings from which would contribute to building
up the overall expertise of local authorities in designing and delivering social
housing with the highest energy efficiency standards. Following a review of the
proposals in early 2009, the Minister announced funding for some eight projects in
authorities across the country.
8
Retrofitting
During 2008, it was announced that two additional streams of funding would be
introduced in 2009 to improve the energy efficiency of the local authority stock. In
the first instance €20 million was to be provided for the improvement of vacant
houses, and apartment complexes, to a minimum BER of C1, as well as €5 million
for a number of demonstration projects which will inform future energy efficiency
improvement works projects.
Housing Needs Assessment
In March 2008 local authorities undertook an assessment of need for social housing.
These assessments cover the need for social housing in each local authority area
together with the part that can be played in meeting needs by other social housing
options. Authorities were asked to pay particular attention to the needs of older
people and those with a disability as these groups were felt to be under represented,
for various reasons, in the 2005 assessment. The results indicate that at 31 March
2008 a total of 56,249 households were in need of local authority housing compared
with 43,684 households in 2005 (an increase of 31%).
The increases seen are likely a reflection, albeit in part, of the emphasis the
Department placed on getting a more accurate figure for the number in need of
social housing support. Detailed results of the Housing Needs Assessment are set
out in Appendix II (see page 97-127).
Special housing needs
Work on the development of a National Housing Strategy for People with a
Disability continued in 2008. The various housing and support issues faced by
people with different, or multiple, disabilities are being progressed through the
National Advisory Group, chaired by the Department and also involving the
Department of Health and Children, the Health Service Executive, the social
partners and other relevant stakeholders. It is intended that the Strategy will be
finalised by the end of 2009.
As part of this approach, work has been undertaken on the development of
protocols to deal with co-operation between the HSE and housing authorities to
provide a strategic framework for inter agency co-operation at local level. A protocol
governing liaison between the HSE and the housing authorities on the assessment
of the accommodation needs of people with a disability has been developed and is
being implemented by housing authorities and the HSE. A further protocol
governing support costs for social housing projects provided for people with a
disability is currently being developed.
The Cross Departmental Team on Sheltered Housing for Older People also
continued to work in 2008. This team, chaired by the Department and also involving
the Department of Health and Children, the HSE and the local government system,
is working towards the completion of a strategy on sheltered housing to feed into
the Government’s overall Positive Aging Strategy.
9
Homelessness
2008 marked a major development in the Government’s efforts to tackle
homelessness with the publication in August of a new homelessness strategy - The
Way Home. A considerable body of work is now underway to help achieve the key
strategic aims of the new strategy, the core objectives of which are to end long-term
occupation of emergency facilities (i.e. occupation for longer than 6 months) and the
need to sleep rough by the end of 2010.
Actions to achieve these objectives include;
•
•
•
•
the launch in early 2009 of a detailed National Implementation Plan for the
strategy;
development of a new schemes to provide accommodation and supports for
persons leaving homelessness;
implementation of the recommendations in the Dublin evaluation of services
reports which mirror the national strategy and indeed have fed into the
national implementation plan, and;
inclusion of important homeless provisions in the Housing (Miscellaneous
Provisions) Bill 2008.
In addition, despite the difficult budgetary situation, a 5% increase in revenue
funding in 2009 was secured for accommodation and related services to address
homelessness. Adding the 10% contribution from local authorities, the total State
funding for these services in 2009 will reach a record total of over €62 million.
This, in tandem with HSE funding for health and care related costs, will bring the
total State revenue funding provided specifically to address homelessness to about
€700 million since the year 2000, when the first homeless strategy was published.
Traveller Accommodation
The National Traveller Accommodation Consultative Committee (NTACC) held a
full schedule of meetings in 2008 and undertook visits to both South Dublin and
Wexford where they visited a range of Traveller accommodation and met with local
Travellers. The NTACC also hosted two seminars for members of Local Traveller
Accommodation Consultative Committees (LTACCs) in May 2008. The NTACC has
a number of subcommittees which continued their work and during 2008 the
consultation subcommittee produced a set of consultation guidelines for use by
local authorities in the planning and construction of Traveller specific
accommodation. 193 new and refurbished Traveller specific units of accommodation
were provided in 2008, while 140 additional Traveller families were accommodated
in standard local authority housing.
Private Rented Accommodation Standards
Good progress was achieved in 2008 in implementing the Action Programme on
Private Rented Accommodation Standards, which was introduced on foot of a
commitment in the Towards 2016 social partnership agreement to update standards
in rented accommodation. Delivering on this commitment, the Government
10
approved a package of measures to improve standards in November 2008 and new
regulations, the Housing (Standards for Rented Houses) Regulations 2008, were
signed in December.
These regulations reflect the requirements of the modern rental sector, specifying
enhanced requirements in relation to a range of matters, such as structural repair,
sanitary facilities, heating, ventilation, light and safety of gas and electrical supply.
The regulations came into effect in general on 1st February 2009; however, certain
elements of the regulations, those requiring significant refurbishment and capital
investment by landlords, will be phased in over a four year period for existing
tenancies. Further elements of the package approved by the Government to update
standards, including a requirement to maintain the external appearance of property
and a comprehensive new sanctions regime, require primary legislation and have
been provided for in the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2008.
Increased enforcement is a key element of the Action Programme and significantly
increased funding, from the proceeds of tenancy registration fees, received by the
Private Residential Tenancies Board (PRTB), has been provided in recent years to
assist local authorities in their functions relating to the private rented sector. Over
€4 million was allocated in respect of 2008, linked largely to enforcement
performance, and funding for this purpose in 2009 will be maintained at the 2008
level of €4m, bringing total funding allocations since 2004 to €15m. In general, local
authorities have significantly expanded their inspection activity in recent years with
the number of inspections more than doubling – from 6,815 to 14,008 - in the period
2005 to 2007. A further significant increase in inspections - up 23% to almost 17,200 was recorded in 2008, reflecting the positive impact of the overall Action
Programme on Standards.
Private Residential Tenancies Board
Implementation of reforms in the private rented sector under the Residential
Tenancies Act 2004 continued through the Private Residential Tenancies Board
(PRTB), which is a statutory independent body under the aegis of the Department.
Significant progress was achieved in 2008 with the number of tenancies registered
rising to over 200,000 in respect of almost 101,000 active landlords and 354,000
tenants. Linkage between tax relief on private rented accommodation and
registration, introduced in the Finance Act 2006, continued to contribute to the
increase in registration numbers in 2008. The PRTB also provides a comprehensive
dispute resolution service as an alternative to the Courts, which involves mediation
or adjudication and tenancy tribunal appeal hearings. The Board received
approximately 1,500 dispute applications in 2008.
Affordable Housing
Working jointly with the Department, the Affordable Homes Partnership continues
to provide support and advice to local authorities in the areas of affordable housing,
through best practice guides, training and comprehensive manuals including
11
support on Part V and related matters. In 2008, the AHP launched the national
affordable housing website, www.affordablehome.ie, which provides local
authorities with a marketing tool to advertise affordable homes available in their
area. Development of phase 2 of the national website continues which will allow
local authorities to accept affordable applications online. The Affordable Homes
Partnership also delivered approx 300 homes directly in the Greater Dublin Area in
2008, through the procurement of homes from the private market.
The Partnership produced a report “Increasing Affordable Housing Supply” in 2007,
a key recommendation of which involves moving the arrangements for the sale of
affordable housing away from current procedures which involve a time limited
claw-back to a purchase sharing arrangement. The legislative powers necessary for
these new affordable dwelling purchase arrangements were included in the recently
enacted Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009.
The slow down in the wider housing market also impacted on affordable housing in
the second half of 2008. In some areas, house price decreases were such that the
differential between affordable housing and the open market were substantially
eroded leading to an increase in the number of affordable housing units in local
authority hands and not yet sold. At the end of 2008, the number of units on hands
stood at over 3,500. The Department issued detailed guidance to local authorities in
early 2009 setting out a range of options to be used in redeploying unsold affordable
units for other housing purposes.
Delivering quality housing
The Department continued through 2008 to focus on the promotion of quality in the
built environment. The Sustainable Communities and Housing Committee, which is
a joint venture between the Department and the Royal Institute of Architects of
Ireland (RIAI), organised a one day conference as well as a workshop last year for
professionals involved in the provision of housing. These events dealt with the
challenges in the construction of new housing posed by implementation issues
around Part L of the Building Regulations and the Building Energy Rating (BER)
system.
Through its involvement in the issuing of Floor Area Compliance Certificates
(FACC’s) the Department continued the inspection of new houses as a means of
ensuring a measure of protection for first time buyers. Some 17,930 properties were
inspected in 2008 for compliance with FACC standards.
Home Choice
The Home Choice loan scheme was announced in the October 2008 Budget. It
became operational in early 2009 and is intended to serve as a time limited measure
to facilitate, rather than incentivise, house purchase by credit worthy first time
buyers who wish to purchase a home at this time but who are being impeded from
doing so due to the impacts of the so-called “credit crunch”. The scheme is
underpinned by the Housing (Home Choice Loan) Regulations 2009 as well as a
12 comprehensive and prudent credit policy.
Part 2
Housing Market Indicators
A number of indicators are available to assess the trends in the housing market. These
include house completions, house guarantee registrations, commencement notices,
planning permissions granted, serviced housing land availability, house prices and
affordability measures. These data are produced in Appendix I and, where possible,
historical data are available on the Department’s website, www.environ.ie
Section 1 - Housing Activity
House Completions
Following more than 10 years of strong growth in housing output, with a record
level of 93,000 units completed in 2006, the trend for 2007 and 2008 has shown a
marked contraction in activity. In 2008 51,724 houses and apartments were
completed. 11,342 of these were in Dublin, with a total of 16,318 in the Greater
Dublin Area (GDA).
34% of the houses built in 2008 were single houses, with the remainder developed
through schemes of varying sizes. Apartments accounted for 25% of all new
completions in 2008. A breakdown of these figures by area is on pages 41 to 44.
87% of overall output was private housing, while 13% or 6,801 units, were
completed by the local authority and voluntary and co-operative sector. This does
not represent the total output of social housing provision by local authorities, as
other measures including acquisitions, units delivered under RAS, vacancies in
existing stock, etc contribute to the level of lettings by local authority (see pages 7376).
13
New House Guarantee Registrations
Nationally, the number of new houses registered under guarantee schemes1 for 2008
was 12,676, down 67% compared with 2007 (see page 45), with Dublin registrations
showing a 51% decline (4,550 dwellings). These significant reductions in future
housing supply began to emerge from the second quarter of 2007, after a doubling
of interest rates between December 2005 and June 2007, which combined with very
high prices, caused significant deterioration in house purchase affordability. This (in
tandem with the fact that many buyers had brought forward purchases in 2005 and
2006) resulted in a sharp fall-off in market demand, which was further fuelled in
2008 by the global recession and the much tighter international credit markets.
Commencement Notices
Data on ‘Residential Commencement Notices’, under the Building Control
Regulations, are available from all building control authorities since January 2004.
Details of the numbers of residential units started, with numbers of single units
available separately are published in the table on page 46. Results for 2008 indicate
almost 23,000 residential dwellings were newly started, about 25,000 lower than the
previous year. Of these, 48% were single dwellings, up from 32% in 2007.
1
House registrations are made on a voluntary basis with either HomeBond or Premier Guarantee (the
latter since 2002).
14
Planning Permissions Granted
Further back along the supply chain, the numbers of planning permissions granted
for residential construction provides a useful indicator of likely future output. Data
from the Central Statistics Office shows that, nationally, 67,584 units received a final
grant of planning permission in 2008, representing a decrease of 20% on 2007, a
reversal of the 7% increase seen in 2007. Units granted planning permission were
down 11% in Dublin (11,771) and 20% in the Greater Dublin Area (18,392) in 2008.
Cork and Limerick also reported decreases of 42.4% and 1.3%, respectively.
Supply of Housing Land
The 10th housing land availability survey undertaken in June 2008 indicated that
there was 14,191 hectares of zoned serviced land available nationally, with an
estimated yield of 462,700 housing units (see page 47). This equates to sufficient
capacity nationally for residential development for almost nine years, based on 2008
housing output.
At the end of June 2008 a total of 2,210 hectares of zoned serviced land with an
estimated yield of over 149,000 housing units was available in Dublin. There were
990 hectares of zoned serviced land in the Mid-East Region with an estimated yield
of about 34,000 units. Of the other major urban areas, there was sufficient zoned
serviced land to yield about 36,800 units in Cork, 21,300 units in Galway, 10,500
units in Limerick and 8,700 units in Waterford.
Housing Stock
The national housing stock is estimated to be 1.934 million units at end 2008. This
estimate combines the base number of dwellings surveyed for the Census of
Population 2006, (including both vacant and occupied dwellings), with the total
number of units completed since then to end December 2008. This represents about
437 units for every 1,000 persons, which brings the Irish per capita ratio broadly in
line with EU norms
Other notable characteristics of the national stock are outlined below;
•
Over one third of the existing housing stock has been built in the past 10 years,
a result of the record levels of housing construction activity in this period.
•
Close to one third of housing stock is made up of one-off housing, that is,
detached housing in open countryside.
2
The 5% balance is not specified in the 2006 Census results.
15
•
75% of the occupied housing stock is owner occupied. 7% rented from a local
authority, while 13% rented privately2.
•
While 10% of the stock is currently made up of apartments, apartment
building has been a particular feature of recent completions. In fact apartment
building made up 25% of all housing units built in 2008 (and 67% in the
Dublin region). 41% of housing units built in 2008 were in estates (schemes),
and individual houses accounted for the remaining 34%.

The 5% balance is not specified in the 2006 Census results.
Section 2 - House Prices
Average House Prices
As a function of weakening demand fuelled by a variety of factors, as set out in
Section 1, house prices decreased significantly over the course of 2008 and that
downward trend has continued in 2009. The average price of a new house
(including apartments) nationally was €305,269 in 2008. In Dublin, the average
price was €370,495. The average price of a second-hand house in 2008 was €348,804
nationally and €444,207 in Dublin.
In Quarter 4 2008, the average price of a new house (including apartments)
nationally was €282,023, down 10.3% over the average price reported in the same
quarter in 2007. The average price of a second-hand house was €323,418, down
11.9% over the same period in 2007. The average price for a new house in Dublin
was €329,625 in Quarter 4 2008, down 18.1% compared with the corresponding
quarter in 2007. The average price of a second-hand house in Dublin was €415,035,
down 10.3% over the same period in 2007.

Affordability
The Department maintains an index of housing affordability measured by reference
to the costs of servicing a mortgage.
To take account of trends in family and work situations, and the steady increase in
female participation in the workforce in the last few years, it is appropriate to
examine trends in affordability for two-earner (married) households . The index
assumes a loan period of 20 years, as this has been the traditional loan period. The
availability of longer-term loans has meant that first-time buyers have been able to
make lower monthly repayments but this has increased their overall cost of
borrowing in the long run.
The affordability ratio indicates that there has been an improvement in affordability
over 2008. Last year, the mortgage outgoings of a two income household
represented about 29% of their disposable income, compared to 32% in 2007.
3
This index is based on assumptions contained in the Bacon report and is based on a two earner
household – one person earning the average non-industrial wage and the other earning the average
industrial wage. The 2008 mortgage outgoings are based on a 20-year mortgage, 5% interest rate and an
average national house price of €305,269.
18
The improvement in affordability is primarily due to reductions in interest rates and
in house prices over the course of 2008. Specifically, ECB rate cuts occurred in
October (-0.5%), November (-0.5%), and December 2008 (-0.75%), reducing the rate
from 4.25% to 2.5%. This resulted in a decrease in the average variable mortgage
rate, from 5.87% in August 2008 to a low of 4.8% in Dec 2008.4 While house prices
were increasing steadily until 2006 (2007 for new houses nationally), a slight decline
was beginning to appear in 2007 and this became even more evident during the last
six months of 2008, resulting in a 10% drop on Quarter 4 2007 prices. New
apartment prices were more sensitive to the downturn, dropping 14% on Quarter 4
2007 prices nationally and 19% in Dublin. Second hand house prices continued to
decline from 2007, recording a drop of 12% nationally and 10% in Dublin. Second
hand apartments in Dublin dropped 17% on Quarter 4 2007.
Budget 2008 provisions, where the amount of interest on which mortgage relief is
available, increased to a maximum of €20,000 for a joint first-time purchaser, have
also improved affordability. Further changes introduced in Budget 2009 (e.g. to
increase the rate of tax relief for first time buyers) will also help improve
affordability.
Further significant improvements in affordability arose in early 2009 as interest rates
and house prices have both continued to decline. However, some of the
improvements will be offset by other budgetary measures e.g. the introduction of
income levies.
4
This is the average house purchase loan interest rate, calculated by the Central Bank using data from Irish
mortgage lending institutions. While there were rates offered at 3.75% in December 2008, the average is
skewed upwards due to higher rates offered on other mortgage products and delays in passing on
reductions in the ECB rate.
19
Section 3 - Loans Information
Over 53,000 loans for house purchase, to the value of €14.5 billion, were paid out in
2008, a drop of 36% in volume and 35% in value on 2007. Of these, some 24,400
were for the acquisition of new houses (including apartments). Details of the
number and value of loans approved and paid between 2003 and 2008 are set out in
pages 59-60 and for loans paid in 2007-2008 on page 61.5

Section 4 - Profile of Borrowers
Data from the House Price Statistics System (HPSS) are now used to present
statistics to describe the profile of the borrower in 2008.6 This replaces the previous
voluntary sample survey based only on loans paid. These data are more
comprehensive and provide useful indicative statistics in relation to borrowers,
including ranges of loans paid and gross incomes, loan to value ratios, loan terms
and average ages. The data also provide an indication of the purpose for which a
dwelling is being acquired. For instance, in 2008 some 85% of mortgages were for
the purchase of a principal residence, (up from 82% in 2007) with the proportion
borrowing for investment falling from 17% in 2007 to 14%. 1% of houses bought
with a mortgage were for second or holiday homes.

First-Time Buyers
Data supplied by the financial institutions on mortgages approved in the year 2008
show that first-time buyers continue to hold a steady share in the housing market.
It is estimated that 41% of all house purchase loans for new houses were by firsttime buyers (table on page 68).
The general profile of the first-time buyer borrowing in 2008 was as follows:
•
On average, the first-time buyer was aged 31 (with 57% of all first-time buyers
aged under 30).
•
The proportion of 100% mortgages taken out by first-time buyers in 2007
reduced to 23% from 26% a year earlier. In Dublin, 18% of loans taken out by
first-time buyers in 2008 had 100% loan to value ratios, compared to 21% a
year earlier.

Financial measures impacting on FTB’s
The Finance (No 2) Act 2007 introduced Stamp Duty changes to exempt first-time
buyers from Stamp Duty on both new and second hand properties. Figures indicate
that first-time buyers made up 29% of house loans taken out to buy second hand
properties in 2008 and this change will have directly assisted a significant number of
these buyers (table on page 68).
Changes introduced in Budget 2009 include increasing the rate of tax relief for first
time buyers from 20% to 25% in years 1 and 2 of the mortgage and to 22.5% in years
3, 4 and 5. This change benefits first-time buyers who purchased since 1st January
2005; however, relief for non first-time buyers was reduced from 20% to 15%.

Section 5 - Housing Support
It is generally recognised that even at the high levels of supply seen in Ireland in
recent years, the market will not address the full spectrum of housing needs.
Specific measures are required to aid households who cannot afford to meet their
own housing needs. Local authorities in particular have a broad and important role
in responding to these needs. This involves both direct provision and enabling
needs to be met through interaction with both the voluntary and co-operative
housing and private housing sector.
The nature and extent of supports required varies widely from those who may need
minimal financial assistance in order to realise their home ownership aspirations to
those whose personal, financial or accommodation circumstances are such that a
more comprehensive intervention is required.
Support is provided through a range of options namely:•
Paths to Home Ownership:
-
•
Social rented accommodation:
-
24
Affordable housing – purchase of house at discounted price;
Shared ownership – purchase of a home through purchase of initial stake
and the balance is rented from the housing authority;
Tenant purchase of local authority dwellings at discounted prices.
Housing provided at a rent related to income.
•
Housing support for those with special accommodation needs:
-
Homeless accommodation and supports;
Traveller-specific accommodation;
Grants to adapt housing for the needs of older people and people with
disability;
Schemes to exchange private housing for sheltered accommodation for
older people;
Sheltered accommodation for older people;
Sheltered accommodation for people with a disability;
Adapted social housing for people with special needs.
In 2008, total exchequer and non-exchequer funding of these housing measures
amounted to some €2.4 billion and represented an increase of 14% on the 2007 outturn.
To ensure maximum output from multi-annual capital expenditure on social and
affordable housing measures over the coming years through a coherent and coordinated response across all housing services, five-year Action Plans were
introduced. In preparing these plans, local authorities had to assess their social and
affordable housing needs taking account of their existing housing stock. The
resultant plans set out their proposed response to these needs for 2004-2008 across
the range of housing programmes including local authority housing construction,
regeneration and remedial works, voluntary housing, traveller accommodation,
housing needs of older persons and people with disabilities, homelessness,
affordable housing, and management and maintenance of the stock.
As a result of this investment, the housing needs of 20,223 households were met in
2008. The table on page 26 (below) provides a breakdown of the numbers of
households assisted in 2008 under various social and affordable measures. A local
authority breakdown of the 2008 total provision is set out in the tables on pages 73
to 76 in Appendix I.
Notwithstanding the more constrained fiscal environment, good progress was made
in terms of social rented housing starts and completions in 2008. In addition, by the
end of 2008 local authorities had transferred some 18,011 households from rent
supplement to either the Rental Accommodation Scheme (RAS) or to other social
housing options.

This excludes 78 households who surrendered local authority houses in 2008 to acquire affordable
scheme houses, as these are counted in the appropriate affordable housing scheme.
26
The Department and local authorities are assisted in their delivery of these housing
services through a number of support agencies:
Housing Finance Agency
The Housing Finance Agency continued in 2008 to make an important contribution
to the delivery of social housing programmes, with loan advances of almost €1.1
billion. (www.hfa.ie)
National Building Agency
The National Building Agency continues to play an important role in contributing
to the objective of increased social housing through the local authority, voluntary
and affordable housing programmes. In line with the changing composition of
public housing programmes over the course of 2008, the NBA has been reorientating its activities in response to this. (www.nba.ie)
Centre for Housing Research
Financial assistance was also provided to support the work of the Centre for
Housing Research (formerly the Housing Unit). This is a joint initiative between
the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government and Local
Government and the local authorities. The overall purpose of the Centre is to
facilitate the improved management of the social housing sector. It operates under
the aegis of the Institute of Public Administration.
(www.centreforhousingresearch.ie)
Affordable Homes Partnership
The Affordable Homes Partnership was established by the Government in 2005 to
accelerate the delivery of affordable housing in the Greater Dublin Area, where
affordability problems had been most acute. The Partnership is now playing a key
role in supporting local authority efforts to address the stock of affordable housing
on hand. (www.affordablehome.ie)
27
Section 6 - Paths to home ownership including Part V Activity
Affordable housing is provided under various schemes, including the Shared
Ownership Schemes, the 1999 Affordable Housing Scheme, Part V of the Planning
Development Acts 2000 – 2007, the Affordable Housing Initiative (AHI) and units
delivered though the Affordable Homes Partnership (AHP).
Over 24,000 affordable houses have been provided (see page 31) since 2000. While
this has helped first time buyers get on the property ladder, the sustained decline in
house prices throughout 2008 has narrowed significantly the difference in price
between the open market and affordable housing properties. This has led to a
reduced demand for affordable housing and an overhang of unsold properties. A
new initiative introduced in April 2009 will allow local authorities to examine
alternative ways of using these vacant houses e.g. allocating homes to families on
social housing waiting lists; transferring the homes to tenants who have been on
rent supplement for more than 18 months; and selling them to local authority
tenants.

Part V of the Planning and Development Acts 2000 – 2007
Background
Part V is one of the measures included in the consolidation and reform of the
planning law contained in the Planning and Development Act 2000. Part V
requires, inter alia, that up to 20% of land zoned for residential developments or for
a mix of residential and other uses, is to be reserved to meet social and affordable
housing needs and be made available to the local authority at the existing use value
rather than development value. It also assists with social integration by ensuring
that there is a proper mix of tenures in new residential developments.
28
Exemptions
Part V only applies to housing developments on land zoned residential or a mixture
of residential and other uses. In addition, certain types of residential developments
are completely exempt from the requirement to comply with Part V. These are:•
Developments of social housing for letting by an approved housing body;
•
Conversion of buildings to housing, where at least 50% of the external part of
the building is being retained;
•
The carrying out of works to an existing house;
In addition Section 97 of the Act enables an applicant to apply for an exemption
certificate before they apply for a planning permission in the following
circumstances: •
The development consists of the provision of 4 or fewer housing units; or,
•
Any number of units on land, the area of which is 0.1 hectares or less.
Output
Output of Part V housing has now gathered momentum, as planning permissions
which pre-dated the Planning and Development Acts 2000 - 2007 (and thus did not
have a Part V requirement) have been built out. In 2008, a total of 4,518 housing
units, namely 1,437 social and 3,081 affordable, were acquired under Part V
agreements with developers. To date over 12,000 homes have been delivered under
Part V. In addition, 4,159 social and affordable units were under construction at the
end of 2008 and a further 2,910 units were proposed on foot of agreements with
developers. Output for each local authority is set out on page 77.
In 2008, 8 land transfers to local authorities were also completed involving 6.67
hectares; a further 163 partially or fully serviced sites have been transferred to local
authorities and voluntary and co-operative housing bodies; and €19.3 million has
been received in payments in lieu and under the withering levy.

Additionally, payments in lieu, which are ring fenced for housing capital purposes
only, together with land and sites accruing from the take up of the alternative
options will further supplement the overall provision of social and affordable
housing.
Shared Ownership Scheme
A total of 7,704 households have benefited under the Shared Ownership Scheme in
the eight years 2000 to 2008. 139 households benefited in 2008, while 991
transactions were approved in principle.
Output data for each local authority are set out at page 78.
Affordable Housing (1999) Scheme
The 1999 affordable housing scheme involves local authorities providing newly built
houses at a discounted price on their own lands and allows the purchaser to benefit
from a loan of up to 97% of the house price. Since the launch of the 1999
Affordable Housing Scheme, 6,889 units have been provided. 756 of these were
provided in 2008. At the end of 2008 there were 876 houses in progress and 561 new
units proposed.
Output data for each local authority are set out at page 78.
30
Affordable Housing Initiative (AHI)
Substantial progress has been made in providing homes under the Affordable
Housing Initiative as outlined in the partnership agreement, Sustaining Progress.
This Initiative is aimed at those who in the past would have expected to purchase a
house from their own resources but find they are unable to do so in the current
housing market. Over 80 sites have been identified on State or local authority
owned lands.
By the end of 2008, 3,590 units had been provided under the Initiative, including
affordable housing made available through Part V arrangements. A further 121 units
were in progress at the end of 2008.
Summary of output under affordable housing schemes
Over 24,400 affordable homes were provided under the various schemes between
2000 and 2008.

The mortgage allowance scheme was introduced in 1991 to assist tenants or tenant
purchasers of local authority houses who surrender their property to the local
authority to become owner-occupiers of other dwellings. Eligibility was extended in
1995 to tenants of dwellings provided by approved voluntary and co-operative
housing bodies under the rental subsidy scheme, who return their accommodation to
the body, thus making it available for re-letting. The current rate of the allowance is
€11,450.
31
In 2008, 189 new households benefited from this scheme. Some 78 of these households
moved from local authority housing to affordable housing. Details of transactions
broken down by local authority are at page 79.
Tenant Purchase Scheme
596 dwellings were purchased under the Tenant Purchase Scheme in 2008, 1,785
applications to purchase were made and 1,416 sales were approved (see page 80 for
breakdown by local authority). The level of purchases under this scheme is subject to
fluctuation from year to year as the chart below indicates.

Households accommodated from vacancies in existing Local Authority stock.
In 2008, 4,342 new households were housed when units became vacant in existing
local authority housing stock (see page 84 for breakdown by local authority).
Improvement works in lieu of re-housing and extensions to local authority
houses.
Through improvement works in lieu of re-housing and extensions added to local

2008 (see page 83 for breakdown by local authority). Almost €7 million was spent
on these schemes in 2008.
Rental Accommodation Scheme
Since September 2005, the pace of delivery under the Rental Accommodation
Scheme has steadily increased and by the end of December 2008, 18,011 households

Latest available data on the number of social housing units are for the year 2008,
and indicate that 118,396 social housing units were let by local authorities in that
year. The average weekly rent was €46.85 (see page 85 for further details).
The Department continued to fund major redevelopment and regeneration
programmes to improve the living environment of existing social housing tenants.
In 2008, some €217 million was made available to local authorities for regeneration
and social housing improvement measures. This supported continued progress on
the Ballymun regeneration programme and work on the early stages of a number of
other regeneration projects
In addition, some 6,900 households were assisted in 2008 through a scheme to
provide central heating to local authority tenants. Since the introduction of the
scheme, 25,650 households have been provided with central heating. The
programme is now due to finish in 2009.
Voluntary and Co-operative Housing Sector
Capital Assistance and Loan Subsidy Schemes
1,896 units of accommodation were provided by the Voluntary and Co-operative
housing sector in 2008, with assistance from the Department under the Capital
Assistance Scheme and Capital Loan and Subsidy Scheme. This included 362 units

Low cost housing sites
A total of 35 sites were made available under this scheme in 2008. The scheme is
generally targeted at households who would otherwise benefit from social housing
measures, and is also used by Voluntary and Co-operative housing bodies
providing houses under the Capital Assistance or Capital Loan and Subsidy
Schemes. The extent to which low cost sites can be made available by local
authorities is limited by the demands of their own building programme
requirements.
Special needs housing
As part of their social rented accommodation programme both local authorities and
the voluntary and co-operative housing sector are involved in responding to special
housing needs, delivering accommodation for the homeless, older people and
people with a disability. There are also specific funding programmes for the
provision of Traveller accommodation and to adapt private housing for the needs of
older people and people with a disability. Output under these schemes is detailed
in Sections 8 and 9.
36
Section 8 - Traveller Accommodation
In 2008, the Department continued to monitor the implementation of the 2005 to
2008 Traveller accommodation programmes. Capital expenditure of €35 million was
incurred on the provision of Traveller specific accommodation (group housing and
halting sites). In addition, current expenditure of €7.1 million was incurred in
respect of 90% of the salaries and travelling expenses of social workers employed by
local authorities and voluntary bodies in relation to the accommodation of
Travellers, and a percentage of the costs relating to the management and
maintenance of halting sites.
In 2008 there were 193 units of Traveller specific accommodation provided,
comprising of:
•
•
•
102 Halting Site Bays (new and refurbished)
82 Group Housing Units (new and refurbished)
9 Single Instance purchases
These figures do not include families accommodated in standard local authority
accommodation, or in other options, such as private rented accommodation.
In addition to funding for Traveller specific units, funding is also provided for:
•
Recoupment to local authorities of 50% of the cost of providing caravans to
Travellers in emergency cases. (In exceptional cases 100% funding has been
provided for special needs caravans or mobile homes);
•
Recoupment to local authorities of a special grant of €3,810 payable to
Travellers for the first-time purchase of a house;
•
Recoupment to local authorities of a special grant of 10% of the cost up to a
maximum of €640 to a Traveller family who are purchasing a caravan for the
first-time.
The Department will continue to encourage and assist local authorities in the
development and implementation of their Traveller accommodation programmes
and ensure that this expenditure results in Traveller specific accommodation of the
highest standard.
37
Section 9 - Housing Adaptation Grants for Older People and People
with a Disability
In order to facilitate the continued independent occupancy of their own homes by
older people and people with a disability, and following a review of the old
Disabled Persons, Essential Repairs Grant Schemes and Special Housing aid for the
Elderly, which was administered by the HSE, a revised suite of Housing Adaptation
Grant Schemes was implemented in November 2007. The revised schemes target
the available resources to those in most need, streamline operational and
administrative procedures and ensure equity and consistency of operation across all
local authority areas. It consists of three schemes; the Housing Adaptation Grant for
People with a Disability, Mobility Aids Grant and Housing Aid for Older People.
13,204 grants valued at €105.1 million, were made by local authorities in 2008 (see
pages 92 to 93 for further details).
38
Section 10 – Private Rented Housing
Under the Residential Tenancies Act 2004, the Private Residential Tenancies Board
(PRTB) is responsible for tenancy registration (other functions include dispute
resolution and the provision of information, research and policy advice).
Data on the number of tenancies registered with the PRTB on 31 December 2008 are
produced on page 95. The level of registration has increased significantly since this
function was transferred to the PRTB in 2004 and was further boosted by a
provision in the Finance Act 2006, linking certain landlord tax relief to registration.
Enforcement details are on page 94.
39
Section 11 – Capital Investment in Housing
Details of the amount of capital expenditure invested in housing are contained in
Section 11. The value added contributed by housing construction is estimated to
have amounted to nearly €9 billion in 2008, contributing 6% of Ireland’s gross
national product.

HOUSING NeeDS ASSeSSMeNT 2008
DeTAILeD ReSULTS
Every three years, in accordance with Section 9 of the Housing Act 1988, housing
authorities are required to undertake an assessment of housing need in their
functional areas. The last such assessment took place in March 2008. In December
2008 preliminary results for the assessment were released. The following detailed
results are now being published.
Background
In December 2007 housing authorities were directed by the Department of the
Environment, Heritage and Local Government (DEHLG) to carry out an assessment
of need existing at 31 March 2008. Detailed guidance was issued by the Department
to assist authorities in carrying out the assessment and in order to insure as much
consistency as possible across all authorities.
Authorities were asked to pay particular attention to the needs of older people and
those with a disability as these groups were felt to be under represented, for various
reasons, in the 2005 assessment. Authorities were instructed to be especially
vigilant in ensuring that applicants be placed in the most appropriate category of
need and that voluntary groups be contacted at an early stage to provide assistance
in the matter.
Net Housing Need
The object of the assessment is to identify the number of households in need of
social housing and to provide a breakdown of the composition of that need. The
key figure coming out of the assessment is the ‘net need’ figure which is a measure
of the number of households that cannot be accommodated through the existing
stock available to housing authorities. This figure underlines the main purpose of
carrying out a housing needs assessment – to enable the Department and housing
authorities to plan their housing supply programmes so that these needs can be
met. Therefore the net need figure is a measure of the number of households in
need of housing support who are not currently receiving social housing support (i.e.
those that have applied to move from other local authority, voluntary/co-operative
or RAS accommodation to local authority accommodation).
The net need figure for 2008 shows that 56,249 households were in need of social
housing support at 31 March 2008. This is an increase of some 31% on the level of
97
need in 2005. Looking closer at the increase in the level of need since 2005, the
greatest increase in need has occurred in the ‘young persons leaving institutional
care’ category (179% increase), ‘medical/compassionate’ category (130% increase),
and ‘people with a disability category’ (154% increase). The significant increases
seen in these three categories are likely a reflection, albeit in part, of the emphasis
DEHLG placed getting a more accurate figure for the number of older persons and
persons with a disability in need of social housing support.

The breakdown of the categories of need show that the majority of households in
need of support require it for income reasons (see Table 2). About 53% of
households are unable to meet the cost of accommodation. This is a slight reduction
on the 2005 level where 58% of households in need of support were categorised as
being unable to meet the cost of accommodation.
10
These figures are different from the figures reported in the 2005 Housing Needs Assessment as an
adjustment was made to the 2005 figures for comparison purposes with the 2008 results.

Category of Need
Young Persons Leaving institutional care
People with a Disability
Older people and people with disabilities account for 6% of the country’s net
housing need with homeless and traveller households accounting for a further 5%
of overall net need.
Household Composition
As well as net housing need and the categorisation of that housing need, the need
assessment carried out by housing authorities facilitates a more detailed
examination of the households in need of housing support including household
composition, nationality, age profile and income.
There is an ongoing concern for housing authorities as to the type of
accommodation they should be supplying to meet housing need and how supply
should be prioritised. Two of the key concerns in making decisions on supply relate
to the composition and age profile of households in need of support. Table 3
summarises the structure of households identified as being in need of social housing
support in the 2008 assessment. 46% of these households are single adult
households – a small increase in the number of single adult households in need of
housing support in 2005 (43%).
11
These figures are different from the figures reported in the 2005 Housing Needs Assessment as an
adjustment was made to the 2005 figures for comparison purposes with the 2008 results.

In conjunction with household structure, Table 4 illustrates the age profile of those
seeking housing support showing a significant 39% of households under the age of
30. A further 28% of households in need of support are between the ages of 31 and
40. Taking these figures together, some 67% of the households in need of social
housing support are under the age of 40.

Another feature of the 2008 figures is the impact of immigration on the increased
numbers. There has been a substantial increase in the numbers of non-Irish
nationals in need of social housing. EU nationals in need of housing now account
for some 12% of the over number of households in need of support, with Non-EU
100
nationals accounting for 11%. Non-Irish nationals now account for nearly one
quarter of households in need of housing (23%).

As might be expected, the incomes of households in need of social housing support
are quite low though there has been some improvement in general income levels
since the 2005 assessment. The majority of households [73%] in need of housing
have incomes of less that €15,000 – this compares to 84% in 2005. Most of these
households have incomes of between €10,000 and €15,000 in the 2008 assessment as
opposed to the majority of households being on incomes less than €10,000 in 2005.
As can be seen from summary Table 6 some 86% of households seeking housing
support from local authorities are on incomes of less than €20,000 per annum.

Length of Time Waiting for Support to be allocated
The 2008 assessment shows a small increase in the waiting period for households
seeking social housing support, with 49% of households waiting for a period longer
than 2 years. Notwithstanding this, as can be seen from Table 7, the majority of
households having been waiting for social housing support for less than 2 years,
with 31% waiting for less than a year.
