698 Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government the numbers of people on local authority social housing waiting lists for each local authority area; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3773/08]
View answerThe most recent assessment of need for social housing was undertaken by local authorities in March 2005. The results of that assessment indicated that there were 43,684 households on local authority housing waiting lists. Data in relation to these assessments for each housing authority are available on my Department's website at www.environ.ie. The next statutory assessment of housing need is due to be undertaken by housing authorities in March 2008.
