However, Carlow was one of five councils that refused to provide data.
Nationally, one in every five households on a housing waiting list, turned down an offer of a home.
Meanwhile, over five thousand offers of social housing have been refused in the past two years.
Among the reasons given for refusals, were houses being too small, lacking a garden or parking space, or being too close to an ex-partner.
