Ms Mary Hayes:

We have agreed a protocol between the four Dublin local authorities so it is within the scope of an extra bedroom or a bedroom less. If your household size is too big we will allow you to go straight on the transfer list and then you can move from there. In that case we will allow one extra bedroom of flexibility. Four-bedroom properties are so precious to us that we cannot give one to someone with a two-bedroom need. It is just not possible and we would refuse that.
