Vol. 492 No. 3
40 Mr. Durkan asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government the total number of persons registered as being on the housing list for each of the past eight years; the number of houses built by the various local authorities in each of these years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13847/98]
Statutory assessments of housing need were carried out by local authorities in 1989, 1991, 1993 and 1996. The details were published in my Department's annual housing statistics bulletins for those years, copies of which are available in the Oireachtas Library. It is intended that the next assessment of housing needs will be carried out by local authorities in March 1999.
Details of the number of houses completed or acquired by local authorities are also available in the annual housing statistics bulletins.
