Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Local Authority Housing Waiting Lists: Discussion

9:00 am

Ms Mary Hurley:

The reason for that is if there is a refusal so there can be a back-up arrangement in place. It is very much that the local authority, in order, would nominate the household for the house and then it would work with AHBs. If somebody refused the house, the process would move to the larger group nominated for the house.
