"To ask the manager to make a report on how many vacant houses are in the Tallaght area. And how long it will take for them to be re let?"

REPLY:

Our Housing Maintenance and Refurbishment section undertake re-let works on vacant housing stock throughout the County to ensure stock is brought back into productive use for letting as soon as possible. The current turnaround time from the date a property is surrendered to the date it is allocated is 19.29 weeks.

There are currently 52 vacant homes in Tallaght within our housing stock which are at various stages of the re-letting process as follows:
