View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 555, 556 and 595 together.
Details on the number of households qualified for social housing support in each local authority administrative area is provided in the annual statutory Summary of Social Housing Assessments (SSHA).
The SSHA 2025 process is currently underway and I expect to publish the summary report before the end of Q1 2026.
The most recently published summary for all counties, conducted in November 2024, is available on my Department's website, along with all summaries since 2011 at www.gov.ie/en/collection/62486-summary-of-social-housing-assessments/.
SSHA data is collected and collated at local authority level and therefore a breakdown of the numbers by town is not provided. Details of households qualified for social housing support for each local authority are included in tables 1.1 in the report.
Details on the length of time spent on the respective lists of each local authority are included in tables 2.8 and A1.8 in the report. It does not provide a breakdown of the number of years beyond the category of more than 7 years. Data regarding the number of housing applicants requesting particular sized accommodation is not held by my Department. However, tables 2.4 and A1.4 of the report provide details on household size.
