Ms Louisa Santoro:

A local authority housing application is assessed under five headings: that one is working; is studying; that one has a medical need; children in school in the area and; a local connection. It could be that if people are working, they are working for too short a time, or they might not have a local connection. If someone had been working in Wexford and arrives in Dublin, that person has no local connection here. There are myriad barriers in people's way.
