Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 June 2023
776. Deputy Jennifer Murnane O'Connor asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the most up-to-date housing needs assessment for counties Carlow and Kilkenny; and the number on each of the local authority housing waiting lists for these counties. [28281/23]
View answerDetails on the number of households qualified for social housing support in each local authority administrative area is provided in the annual statutory Summary of Social Housing Assessments (SSHA). The most recently conducted summary for all counties, conducted in November 2022, shows that 57,842 households qualified for social housing whose need has not yet been met. Of these, 486 households were in Carlow and 681 households were in Kilkenny.
A copy of the summary report for 2022, which includes breakdowns by each local authority, across a range of categories, can be accessed on my Department’s website at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/collection/62486-summary-of-social-housing-assessments/.
