asked the Minister for Local Government the number of persons currently on Dublin Corporation housing list awaiting accommodation who are at present living four or more persons to a room.
I understand from Dublin Corporation that there are 1,892 families on their approved waiting list for rehousing who are at present living four or more persons to one room. Precise information is not available in regard to the number of persons in these families as this number varies from time to time.
