Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Ivan Grimes:

Yes. The reason for that is, like a couple of other local authorities, we have frameworks in place for each electoral district, so we have a single contractor per district. We have introduced choice-based letting and all of our properties are put on choice-based letting. There are a number of factors, other than just doing the work and allocating the house, that have to happen when the key comes in, for example, internal systems, Garda vetting and a whole series of things. In the last couple of years, there have been a couple of unforeseen issues but we are determined to get back below the 20 weeks.
