Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
General Scheme of the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Discussion
11:00 am
Mr. David Kelly:
I do not know. We have two elements in the Bill. We have the entitlement to residency and we have the habitual residency, so there will be a bit of work to do to tease this out in the drafting. The principles of residency are set out in head 5 in terms of eligibility for social housing support and then we have the habitual residence, which builds on the principles that are established under social welfare legislation.
