QUESTION NO.44

QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor

To ask the Chief Executive to detail how many Council houses have been refused by those on our lists so far in this calendar year and will he make a full statement in the matter? 

REPLY:

To date in 2023, 109 applicants have refused their first offer of housing, 20 of which are listed as homeless applicants.

Some of the reasons for refusals are as follows:

• Did not like area of offer
• Location of property within estate
• Suitability of property (apartment)
• No garden
• No parking
• Not close enough to children’s school
