QUESTION NO. 8

QUESTION: Councillor M. McDonagh

To ask the Manager the number of households removed from the Clondalkin Electoral Area's Social Housing Waiting List in 2011 and to provide a breakdown of the reasons for their removal?

REPLY:

South Dublin County Council allocated 78 dwellings to applicants on the Housing List, resulting in their application being cancelled.   Twenty housing applicants who opted for the Clondalkin housing area (now North of Naas Road including the Lucan housing area) refused their first offer of housing in 2011, their applications remain active at present, however, should they refuse second offer their application will be suspended in accordance with the Council's Allocation Scheme.  The Allocations IT system is currently being updated in order to record cancellation of applications for reasons other than awarding Tenancy.
