Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government

My Department understands that the property in this case is owned by Dublin City Council and is being managed and maintained by Clúid Housing Association on behalf of the Council.

Local authorities, as landlords and owners of their social housing stock, are responsible for the management, maintenance and repair of all their rented properties. Matters relating to the management and maintenance of the property referred to should be taken up with either the City Council’s agent, in this case Clúid Housing Association, or directly with Dublin City Council.
