Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 29 January 2013
511. Deputy Jack Wall asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if a person in seeking to obtain a position on a community employment scheme can have their entitlements to rental accommodation scheme transferred from their current base to their new base; the mechanisms they must pursue to allow this to be agreed to; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3767/13]
View answerThe administration of the Rental Accommodation Scheme is entirely a matter for local authorities. Transfer from one authority to another within RAS is by agreement with both authorities, and a number facilitate mutual transfers on an informal basis. A tenant considering transferring from accommodation provided under the scheme should first contact the authorities in question to determine what policy, if any, they have in place on transfers within the scheme.
