Galway's local authorities met less than 14 percent of their targets for own-build social housing accommodation between 2022 and 2024.
The City Council's target was 673, with 74 homes directly built, while the County Council's target was 1,014, with just 132 directly built.
But the other set of figures is overall social housing delivery in that time - when things like builds from approved housing bodies and the Part V contribution of developers are taken into account.
When it comes to homes bought in a turnkey condition by local authorities or Part V acquisitions, the figures are slightly better.
In this case, the City Council built 71 percent of targets, while the County County reached 58 percent.
The figures come as Housing Minister James Browne will tell Cabinet this morning of plans for a new league table to track social housing delivery by local councils.
A little over 5,000 social homes were built nationally between 2022 and 2024 - compared to a target of 27,400.
Three local authorities met less than 10 per cent of the target - Cork County, Kildare and Louth.
