Deputy Cian O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the number of 18–30-year-olds that are registered for social housing on local authority waiting lists, provided by local authority, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 598 and 599 together.
Details 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 provides a breakdown of categories such as age, household size and household composition.
The most recently published summary for all local authority areas was conducted in November 2022 and is available on my Department’s website at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/collection/62486-summary-of-social-housing-assessments/.
Tables 2.1 and A1.1 include details on age profile. It should be noted that the relevant age groupings contained in the report refer to less than 25 years old and 25-29 years old.
The SSHA 2023 is currently underway and I expect to publish the summary report shortly.
