COMHAIRLE CONTAE ÁTHA CLIATH THEAS
SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, October 22, 2018

MOTION NO. 3

MOTION: Councillor B. Leech

"That this Area Committee, following the completion of the current phase of infill housing, asks the Council to give some priority for local tenants who wish to transfer whether it be to upsize or downsize or have an overcrowded situation."

REPORT:

"All allocations are in accordance with the Council's allocations scheme.  This scheme recognises the need to achieve a balance in allocating dwellings between the needs and preference of appliants, the wellbeing of existing tenants and the community as a whole, and the need to make the best use of the social housing stock in the South Dublin County administrative area.

Transfers are considered from tenants where the accommodation is overcrowded or the existing tenants wish to downsize to smaller appropriate accommodation.  Each transfer is considered and those approved are placed on a transfer list.  The area of preference of those approved for a transfer is considered, however it is not possible to accommodate all requests."
