Amharc ar fhreagraThe most recent statutory Summary of Social Housing Assessments was carried out as at 7 May 2013 which showed that there were a total of 4,112 households on the local authority waiting lists for Kerry County Council and the former town councils in the county. These results are available on my Department’s website at:

The 2013 figures are the most up-to-date figures available on waiting list numbers. Further summaries of social housing assessments will be carried out on an annual basis from this year and will provide up-to-date and comprehensive data on the numbers of households qualified for social housing support on an on-going basis.
