Written answers

Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government

My Department does not hold information on the allocation of social housing supports to individual households on the waiting lists of individual local authorities, whether by local authority housing or other accommodation provided by an authority. The allocation of such support is a matter for each authority in accordance with its allocation scheme made under the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009.
