The financial threshold to qualify for entry onto the Donegal County Council housing list is €25,000. That threshold is for a single applicant or couple and, as the Minister knows, there is a small increase for children. It is simply far too low. What can be done as a matter of urgency to raise this threshold, especially given that Donegal County Council has finally received an increase in the funding allocation for housing? It is not enough and it is too little too late, but small increases are welcome. The funding provided to Donegal County Council for the delivery of housing programmes for 2016-20 is set out. How will housing be delivered?
