Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Implementing Housing for All: Discussion

Mr. Frank Curran:

The housing waiting list in Dún Laoghaire is 3,744, and 2,352 people have Dún Laoghaire as their primary authority. The number on the housing assistance payment transfer list is 1,574. Our target is to deliver 1,994 and our projection is 2,318. The Department is looking at income limits. It is out of our control because it is a national issue. What is available once people go over the limit is cost-rental. We will prioritise cost-rental over the coming years.
