Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 9 July 2026
287. Deputy Martin Daly asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the number of households on the social housing waiting list in County Roscommon and County Galway, broken down by local authority area and household composition, in tabular form. [52468/26]
View answerDetails 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 most recently published summary for all counties, conducted in November 2025, 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/.
Details of households qualified for social housing support for each local authority are included in tables 1.1 in the report. The report shows that there were 297 households qualified for social housing in Roscommon County Council and 1,362 households qualified for social housing in Galway County Council whose need was unmet in 2025.
Tables 2.4 and A1.4 of the report provide details on household size, including a breakdown of the household composition, which provides a granular level of detail regarding the number of persons in each household type.
