The income limits for social housing have not been reviewed since 2011, while property prices have doubled in the same period. The price of a three-bed, semi-detached house is increasing at €100 per day. This is forcing people to turn down work or face the prospect of homelessness. Last September, the Taoiseach told me in the House that the idea that people not being able to progress in work or get an increase in salary because they would be marginally over the social housing thresholds needed to be relaxed. My constituents who are in receipt of pandemic unemployment payment are being told they are ineligible for housing because of that payment.
