Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Housing Schemes (9 Nov 2023)

This is because those from rural areas who want to continue to live there are finding it very difficult to get planning permission.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Housing Policy (9 Nov 2023)

Pauline Tully: A number of years ago, this would not have mattered so much because if someone did not qualify for social housing, private rentals were available and affordable. They are neither available or affordable at the moment for people just over the threshold for social housing.
