asked the Minister for Local Government if he will alter the present system of newly-wed type tenancies provided by Dublin Corporation so as to enable newly-weds to remain in permanent residence in their houses should they so desire.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Tenancies for Newly-Weds.
14.
Part III of the Housing (Management and Letting) Regulations, 1950, under which a tenant of a house reserved for newly-weds was not ordinarily allowed continue in occupation of the house for more than five years has been revoked by the Housing Authorities (Loan Charges Contributions and Management) Regulations, 1967, made by me on 13th April, 1967. As a result, the period during which such tenants may be allowed to remain in occupation of their houses is now a matter for the housing authority to decide.
In other words, may I take it that Dublin Corporation may, if they so wish, determine that existing tenants of these newly-wed type houses may be permitted to stay?
Yes.
It does not seem to me that they are clear on that.
Since 13th of April, 1967.
Just for clarification, does the Minister mean only allocation made since 13th April?
No.
Under existing allocation?
Under existing allocation.
Who were there before the 13th?
Yes.
