Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 July 2023
644. Deputy Cormac Devlin asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the number of people on social housing waiting lists by each of the four Dublin local authorities, on 1 June during the years 2016-2023, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36803/23]
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 SSHA is a point in time snapshot of the demand for social housing support in each local authority area and does not necessarily reflect the dynamic nature of entry to and exit from the housing waiting lists.
The SSHA "count date" has varied over the years requested. As such, my Department does not have information on the number on the social housing list as of 1 June during the years 2016-2023.
However, the published summaries for all counties, conducted annually since 2016, are available at:
