Sir, - The article on public housing waiting lists by Padraig O'Morain (November 25th) is inaccurate in so far as it refers to my constituency. The article and accompanying map state that just over 300 applicants await public housing in Laois. This is not so. In fact the true figure of those awaiting local authority housing in County Laois is in excess of 900, or three times that reported. Housing, particularly for young couples, is a real problem in Laois/Offaly, as in other parts of the country. - Yours, etc., Charles Flanagan TD
