A statutory assessment of housing need is undertaken by local authorities on a triennial basis. The most recent assessment of need for social housing was undertaken by local authorities in March 2005. The results of that assessment indicated that the net need for local authority housing was 43,684. The corresponding figure for 2002 was 48,413. Further data from the 2005 assessment is available on my Department's website at www.environ.ie.
