Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 9 April 2024
691. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the number of persons on local authority housing lists aged over 65 years, by gender and by county, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15025/24]
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 provides a breakdown of categories such as age, household size and basis of need.
The most recently published summary for all local authority areas was conducted in November 2023 and is available on my Department’s website at www.gov.ie/en/publication/0dad4-summary-of-social-housing-assessments-2023-key-findings/.
Tables 2.1 and A1.1 include details on age profile. Age groupings contained in the report include 60-69 years old and 70 years old or more. Gender is not captured in the report.
