Written answers

The results of the statutory assessment of local authority housing need, which was undertaken by local authorities in March 2002, indicated that a total of 48,413 households were in need of housing, compared with 39,176 households in March 1999. A detailed breakdown by local authority of the results of these assessments was published in my Department's housing statistics bulletins for the September quarters in 2002 and 1999, and copies are available in the Oireachtas Library. These assessments are carried out at intervals of three years, and the next comprehensive assessment of housing needs is due to be undertaken by local authorities at the end of March 2005.
