ALMOST 800 vacant properties across Limerick were brought back into council use in the last seven years.
The figures, from housing director Aoife Duke, were disclosed to Labour councillor Conor Sheehan at a meeting of the metropolitan district.
In total, she said between 2014 and 2020, there were 1,170 properties allocated.
However, 400 of these were succession tenancies, meaning the effective figure of homes re-let stands at 770.
Last year was the third busiest in terms of re-letting, where 128 homes were involved. In 2014, 146 homes were re-let and in 2015, that figure stood at 141.
The year 2018 saw the lowest, with just 68 units re-let. 2017 saw 90 re-lets, and 2019 saw 97 homes reallocated.

AN approved housing body has been put in place to manage the second phase of a new housing development in the city.
Clúid Housing is to manage 13 homes at the Laurelville estate in Corbally, with a spokesperson for the agency confirming the news to the Limerick Leader.
The first part of the estate is fully occupied with 11 houses there.
The allocations to these homes will come directly from the local authority’s waiting list, said the spokesperson.
Reacting to the news, local Labour councillor Conor Sheehan claimed the existing residents in Laurelville were not told about this change.
