Note 1: The figures shown above are on a county at large basis. Details of the number of applications in some housing authorities in the counties are not available for all the years shown in the table. Accordingly some of the figures fluctuate considerably from year to year and are not directly comparable.
Note 2: In 1976, Dublin Corporation adopted a points system of letting and a new waiting list for local authority housing was introduced in 1977. Since then the corporation have supplied annually revised figures. The previous official revision of the corporation's waiting list was made in October 1972. The number of approved applications at that date was 4,507.
