MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, February 12, 2024

MOTION NO. 11

MOTION: Councillor M. Johansson

That this council agrees that social housing applicants should have the ability to move their application to a different county and keep their time on list, and that a letter will be issued to the Minister for Housing in this regard.

REPORT:

Currently, social housing 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 within the 4 Dublin Local Authorities areas by changing their area of preference with the local authority their application is registered to.

If the motion is agreed, a letter will issue to the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage in this regard.
