MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

Monday, November 24, 2025

QUESTION NO. 7

QUESTION: Councillor K. Keane

"To ask the Manager what actions the council undertakes to ensure that minimum housing standards and necessary maintenance is provided to those from the Councils Housing list who are housed by Approved Housing Bodies in Tallaght?"

REPLY:

SDCC works closely with all Approved Housing Bodies to ensure that tenants housed through these organisations are accommodated in properties that meet the required minimum housing standards and are properly maintained.

Each AHB operates under a Service Level Agreement with the Council, which sets out the respective roles and responsibilities in relation to tenancy management, property maintenance, and compliance with housing standards.

In addition, the Council holds regular meetings—on a monthly basis—with all AHBs operating within the area. These meetings provide a structured forum to discuss tenancy issues, property maintenance matters, and any concerns raised by tenants or the Council.

Through these ongoing engagements and monitoring arrangements, the Council ensures that AHB-provided housing continues to meet statutory standards and that necessary maintenance is undertaken promptly where required.
