Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Tenant In Situ Process: Discussion
Mr. Coil?n O'Reilly:
Currently, it is working on a case-by-case basis. The Deputy will be familiar with Fingal County Council. If it rang us to say it had one of our tenants and we had one of its tenants, we could handle the situation on a direct swap basis. A significant number of Dublin City Council housing list applicants who are in receipt of HAP are living in Fingal and south Dublin. If they all went on the Fingal housing list and were housed there, it would be unfair to people who had been on the Fingal housing list for a long time. We are trying to work through them on a case-by-case basis as much as possible.
