Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 September 2012
297. Deputy Dessie Ellis asked the Minister for the Environment; Community and Local Government the number of dependents listed on applications for social housing in the State broken down by local authority. [40605/12]
View answerMy Department collates and publishes a wide range of housing and planning statistics that inform the preparation and evaluation of policy, and those data are available on my Department’s website www.environ.ie. While we do not collate the exact number of dependents listed on applications for social housing, the 2011 assessment of housing need, which is broken down by local authority, is available on the website and provides an analysis of household structure broken down by relationship status and number of children.
