Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters
Planning for Inclusive Communities: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Liam Hanrahan:
Most local authorities do not operate a time-bound waiting list. It is a priority scheme of letting, which means that if someone comes with a significant level of disability and a significant housing need and the housing package, their need goes further up the list than that of someone who may be living in a congregated setting that does not have more than ten people and does not have an immediate housing need.
