Vol. 547 No. 1

Written Answers. - Housing Waiting Lists.

Eamon Gilmore

Ceist:

744 Mr. Gilmore asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government the number of persons on housing waiting lists in respect of each local authority at the latest date for which figures are available; the corresponding figure at the same date for each of the previous four years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [1615/02]

A detailed breakdown by local authority of the results of the statutory assessments of housing needs undertaken by local authorities in March 1996 and March 1999 was published in my Department's housing statistics bulletins for the September quarters in 1996 and 1999 and copies are available in the Oireachtas Library.

These assessments are carried out at intervals of three years and the next comprehensive assessment of housing needs is due to be undertaken by local authorities at the end of March 2002.
