Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government
General Scheme of Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2016: Discussion
9:30 am
Mr. David Walsh:
There is no block. In many cases, if a local authority or an approved housing body picks up a property in which a tenant is residing and if he or she qualifies for social housing or rent supplement, it can leave him or her in place. In many cases, however, people would be above the threshold and, therefore, not eligible. It is, therefore, a problem where somebody does not qualify for social housing or rent supplement.
