Ms Norma Purtill:

On the Deputy's question of whether people are aware that they can apply, I work specifically with housing allocations in Limerick City and County Council. When an individual applies for housing, he or she is able to see if he or she can apply, for example, on medical grounds. Such people can get the information that way. There is also the HMD Form 1 that they can fill in. We will know, in housing allocations, specifically what their needs are medically.
