Data on Government Built Housing

domrush · 2017-01-12 21:38:57

Does anyone know where I could find information on Government housing policies pre 1990? I'm looking for data such as local authority housing completed and general housing policies pursed by governments, the CSO has figures for total housing but Local authority housing only goes back to 2000

Here is some information on social housing:

Here is an excellent bit of recent research examining Ireland's past policy on social housing, through most of the lifetime of the state - it's worth reading in full:

Page 13 has some graphs which provide some of the stats you're looking for, going all the way back to the 1920's.
