MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, September 11, 2023

QUESTION NO. 11

QUESTION: Councillor L. Dunne

To ask the CEO if an applicant is on another Local Authority housing list but has a cross over for area of preference as South Dublin, does the applicant keep their time on the list & how does that allocation process work?

REPLY:

Applicants that move from one local authority to another do not carry over their time on list. An applicant of one local authority can include a cross over to a different local authority by changing their area of preference with the local authority their application is registered to.

In accordance with the Allocation Scheme applicants must express interest in at least 1 area of choice within the Council's functional area.  They may also express interest in an area of choice in the other Dublin Local Authorities – Dublin City Council, Dun Laoghaire/Rathdown and Fingal. Overall they may only express interest in 3 areas of choice.

South Dublin County Council housing applicants will only be able to view and express an interest in properties advertised through the Choice Based Letting platform within this Council's administrative area.

Applications with area of preferences outside South Dublin County will have different log in details etc. for that particular local authority.
