MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

QUESTION NO. 5

QUESTION: Councillor E. O'Brien

"To ask the Chief Executive to confirm the number of persons currently on housing lists in the Lucan/Palmerston area and the average waiting time for persons on these lists to be housed?"

REPLY:

There are currently 8,433 applications on the Council's Housing List of which 4829 are seeking housing north or the Naas Road.  It is not possible to say how many are seeking housing in the Lucan Palmerstown area as we only have the 2 housing areas now.  However 1,135 of the list above are resident in the Lucan/Palmerstown area.  The average waiting time on list for housing applicants is 6.5 years.
