There is no statutory or Departmental prohibition on the rehousing of sub-tenants of local authority dwellings.
I have already explained fully in replies to previous Parliamentary Questions the position regarding the payment of subsidy in respect of such rehousing and I would refer the Deputy to my replies to Deputies Rooney and Clinton on the 16th and 22nd of November last in the matter.
