I recently approved changes to the social housing income eligibility bands. From 1 October, five local authorities - Carlow, Clare, Galway County, Laois and Westmeath - moved from Band 3 to Band 2. Accordingly, the baseline income eligibility threshold for these areas increased from €25,000 to €30,000.
A table setting out the details of the three bands and the limits currently applicable in each local authority area is available on my Department's website on the following link:
