I thank the Deputy for his question. The review of the social housing income limits is nearing completion. I received a submission.

We are working through some changes in that regard. To be fair to the Deputy, he has raised this matter on a number of occasions, as have others on both sides of the House. The income limits have not been reviewed for years. There will be changes made. We are doing this as well in the context of the roll-out of our affordable schemes, such as cost rental, that will pertain to those who are above the social housing limits. We are nearing completion on that and it certainly will be done in this session.

I have engaged with Deputy Boyd Barrett on specific cases. We are open to looking at any anomalies that are within the system. The local authorities are the housing authorities in each of those areas.
