Almost 100 thousand waiting for social housing

Over 96-thousand people are waiting for social housing – and the Housing Minister is being asked to tackle that number.

The Irish Council for Social Housing is holding its annual conference in Wexford today – with Minister Jan O'Sullivan due to address delegates today.

The ICSH says a stimulus programme for social housing is urgently needed – and could create thousands of jobs.

Executive Director of the ICSH, Donal McManus, says the Minister must act now to take families off waiting lists
