The information requested is not available in my Department. However, the Local Authority Housing Needs Assessment 2005 shows that there were a total of 6,624 Non Irish Households on the waiting list. A breakdown of these by local authority was published in my Department's Annual Housing Bulletin for 2005, which is available in the Oireachtas Library and on my Department's website at www.environ.ie.
