Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government

My Department does not hold information on the allocation of social housing supports to different categories of households on local authority waiting lists. The allocation of such support is a matter for each local authority in accordance with its allocation scheme made under Section 22 of the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009 and associated regulations.
