Details on the number of households on waiting lists in each housing authority area are provided in the statutory summary of social housing assessments. The most recent figures available are the results of the 2013 summary. These are available on my Department’s website at the following link:.

The 2013 results show that there were 741 and 696 households on the waiting lists in counties Cavan and Monaghan, respectively.

In accordance with a commitment given in the Social Housing Strategy 2020, the summary will be prepared on an annual basis from 2016 onwards. Preparation of the 2016 summary, which will provide up to date figures of national housing need, is well advanced and will be available shortly.
