Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Interim Report on Homelessness: Discussion
Ms Caroline Timmons:
The circular provides that, if somebody falls into particular priority categories, one of which is homelessness, the local authority can apply to make an acquisition of the property.
Perhaps I need to check that we can clarify for him that that is considered. I might take that back and make sure. My understanding is certainly that we have not prevented that. If you fall into that priority category, we can consider it.
