MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, September 24, 2018

QUESTION NO. 12

QUESTION: Councillor B. Leech

"There are at present four infill housing projects due for completion in Tallaght, what percentage of them have been allocated to new tenants and what is the breakdown with regards to priority lists?"

REPLY:

All social housing units in South Dublin County Council administative area are allocated in line with our allocations policy.  This scheme recognises the need  to achieve a balance in allocating dwellings between the needs and preferences of applicants, the wellbeing of existing tenants and the community as a whole, and the need to make the best use of the social housing stock. 

Available units including those within new developments are allocated to those on the housing list, those with medical and homeless priority, RAS transfers and transfer of existing tenants.  It is not possible to give a breakdown as each development is examined to make the best use of the house type available.
