I propose to take Questions Nos. 126 to 134, inclusive, together.

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 2016 Summary which are available on my Department’s website at the following link: -

.

The 2016 results show that there were 3,322 households on Galway City Council’s waiting list as at 21 September 2016. The results are broken down across a range of categories, including by household composition.

The results of the previous summaries undertaken in 2002, 2005, 2008, 2011 and 2013, are available on my Department’s website at the link below and include breakdowns by each local authority across a range of categories, including household composition: .

It is important to note that only the results of the 2013 and 2016 summaries are directly comparable with each other. These summaries were carried out using a standardised methodology as specified by the Social Housing Assessment Regulations 2011. Previous summaries were not carried out under the current standardised assessment regime for social housing support which came into effect on 1 April 2011.

In line with a commitment given in the Social Housing Strategy 2020 future summaries will now be carried out an annual basis. I expect the results of the 2017 summary to be available for publication in the latter half of this year.
