Demand outstrips social housing supply

THE number of social houses being built in Cork County Council’s Southern Division can’t keep pace with demand.

There are 1,648 people on the waiting list in the area.

Bandon, with 196, has the largest number of people seeking a decent roof over their heads. Carrigaline came in second with 173, Douglas has 154, Midleton has 122 and Glanmire has 116.
