Phil Hogan (Carlow-Kilkenny, Fine Gael)

Will the Minister of State agree the housing strategies of each local authority adopted some years ago are out of date? Will he also agree that no impact is being made in respect of the number of people on waiting lists for local authority housing and that what is required is new thinking on the part of the Minister of State in the form of new proposals? Is the Minister of State considering new proposals to deal with the escalating waiting lists for houses in each local authority area, many of which were not taken into account in the housing strategies agreed some years ago?
