Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 March 2017
216. Deputy Jim Daly asked the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government the number of persons currently approved for social housing in County Cork who are waiting to be housed, by town and settlement; the number of persons on the housing list in each area; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15234/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraDetails on the number of households which are qualified for social housing support in each housing authority area and whose housing need has not been met, are provided in the statutory Summary of Social Housing Assessments. The most recent figures available are the results of the 2016 Summary which are available on my Department’s website at the following link: www.housing.gov.ie/sites/default/files/publications/files/summary_of_social_housing_assessments_2016.pdf.
The 2016 results show that there were 4,440 & 4,241 qualified households in Cork City Council and Cork County Council, respectively, as at 21 September 2016. The results do not provide a breakdown of the numbers for individual areas within the Councils' administrative areas and my Department does not hold such detailed data.
