Under the Housing Acts, the management and maintenance of housing stock is, in the first instance, a matter for each individual local authority. My Department provides exchequer support to the local authorities across a number of programmes to support their work in maintaining and improving their social housing stock but, in all cases, it is the local authorities that identify priority works.

I understand from the local authority involved, that they are in the process of tendering for repairs and upgrades to be carried out on the property referred to the Deputy, following which the property will be allocated to an applicant on the housing transfer list.
