As of December 2018 there were 7151 on the South Dublin County Council housing list.
A Dáil motion passed through the Dáil on October 3rd setting out a new direction for housing policy

Rebuilding Ireland is not working and a new approach to housing is required to meet the needs of all those locked out of the private market including young people, those on modest incomes (but do not qualify for local authority homes), those on low pensions, those on Council waiting lists, workers, women with children, travellers, people with disabilities, older people and students
This Council calls on Government to:
- Declare the housing and homeless crisis an emergency
- Dramatically increases the supply of local authority led public and affordable housing (including cost rental), by increasing capital spending on housing to €2.3bn; increase Part V requirements to 20% in standard developments & 30% in Strategic Development Zones; prioritise the delivery of public housing on public land; and aggressively target the return of vacant houses to active use
- Reduce the flow of adults and children into homelessness with emergency legislation to make it illegal for landlords, banks and investment funds to evict tenants and homeowners in mortgage distress into homelessness; provide real security of tenure and real rent certainty by linking rent reviews to an index such as the CPI and introducing measures to reduce the cost of rent; introduce a target for ending long term homelessness and the need to sleep rough
- Establish a legal Right to Housing
