-----on the point he made about choice-based letting. We have seen the success of this system in Cork. I believe every local authority should be operating it because it gives choice back to the people when it comes to applying for homes available in local authority areas.

Also then it would help local authorities to see where people are interested in living. That gives local authorities better information to provide housing. I encourage every local authority to implement the choice-based letting scheme. How many people, including those on the HAP scheme and the RAS, are on the housing waiting list of each of the local authorities? I ask for the gross figure.
