Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Tenant In Situ Process: Discussion

Mr. David Kelly:

Yes, as Mr. O'Reilly mentioned in his intervention, some local authorities are under less pressure because of the amount of new stock coming on stream. They have stock available. I will not name the local authority but it has a lot of new stock that came on stream in the past few months, so when people present to that homeless service, stock is available whether it is being delivered by local authority build schemes, by AHBs or through leasing. They are under less pressure in the area of tenants in situbecause they have new stock to allocate. There is a variety of criteria. It can depend on demand from tenants and availability of stock and other properties. We will keep all of those criteria under review to ensure we balance the need across the local authorities with the availability. The other matter I think the Minister would be keen to stress is that this target will also be kept under review, depending on the demand from the sector.
