32 Dr. Moffatt asked the Minister for the Environment the reason he has instructed local authorities to remove the residency clause from their scheme of priorities for letting of accommodation. [9999/95]
The allocation of local authority accommodation is a matter for the individual housing authorities having regard to the requirements of sections 9 and 11 of the Housing Act, 1988.
In making a housing assessment, a housing authority may, to such extent, if any, as the authority consider appropriate, include housing needs arising from the requirements of persons who are residing outside the functional area of the authority.
