View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 301 and 302 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 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 https://www.gov.ie/en/collection/62486-summary-of-social-housing-assessments/
Details of households qualified for social housing support with a main need for social housing support being an intellectual disability are included in table 2.5 in the report and broken down per local authority in table A1.5 in the report.
While the average waiting time per local authority list is not captured, 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.
