City Hall told it will take ten years to clear its housing waiting listHousing targets for Cork councils are not ambitious enough, it has been claimed. As City Hall confirms they will exceed their target of 361 units for 2018, Cork Solidarity TD Mick Barry has said it would still take ten years to clear the waiting list. Mr Barry said: “There are nearly 4,000 households on the Cork City Council housing waiting list. “The council should have the ambition to house everyone on the council waiting list and to cater for new demand within a maximum of five years. For the County, the council is set to exceed their target of 416 units across a range of delivery programmes.
