Ms Geraldine Tallon:

We do an assessment of housing needs on a three-yearly basis. There is movement on the list in intervening times at local authority level. Therefore, the list fluctuates all the time as people move in and out of social housing. Our current figure for those on the housing list in the last latest three-year assessment is 98,000.
