Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 16 February 2017
145. Deputy Noel Grealish asked the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government the number of social housing applicants waiting for social housing for each of the 31 local authorities, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7904/17]
View answerDetails on the number of households qualified for social housing support in each housing authority area are provided in the statutory Summary of Social Housing Assessments. The most recent figures available are the results of the 2016 Summary which are available on my Department’s website at the following link: http://www.housing.gov.ie/sites/default/files/publications/files/summary_of_social_housing_assessments_2016.pdf.
In line with a commitment given in the Social Housing Strategy 2020 future summaries will now be carried out an annual basis. I expect the results of the 2017 summary to be available for publication in the latter half of this year.
