Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 February 2012
457 Deputy Brendan Ryan asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the number of persons on housing waiting lists in each local authority in the State; on average the number of persons applying to be on the housing list every month; if this trend in increasing; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8188/12]
View answerMy Department does not hold information on the number of households on local authorities' waiting lists. This figure continuously fluctuates as households are allocated housing and new households apply for housing support. Detailed information on the latest statutory assessment of housing need carried out in March 2011, including a breakdown by housing authority, is available on my Department's website —www.environ.ie or on the Housing Agency’s website at www.housing.ie.
