MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

QUESTION NO. 18

QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

To ask the Chief Executive whether information on parking availability is provided to prospective Council tenants in writing, face-to-face or both and whether this information is communicated prior to a tenancy being accepted.

REPLY:

Choice Based Letting (CBL) is our primary method of allocating homes to eligible households from the social housing waiting list. Properties are advertised on our dedicated housing online platform and includes information such as accommodation type, number of bedrooms, tenure type (council owned, long-term lease, AHB property etc.) and essential information regarding parking availability. 

Parking availability is also discussed during the consultation process between the successful applicant and the council or the relevant Approved Housing Body (AHB) following the tenant nomination process.

Applicants are advised to be aware of the policies in place before expressing an interest in a property.
