Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 June 2019
745. Deputy Denis Naughten asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the number of local authority houses being leased out by each local authority to older persons in long-term residential care under the fair deal scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26335/19]
View answerMy Department does not hold the type of detailed information requested.
The administration of the Fair Deal Scheme, which includes an assessment of the assets of the applicant, including their property, is carried out by the HSE.
If a tenant of an individual local authority is accepted into the Fair Deal Scheme, issues relating to their tenancy of that dwelling are a matter for the local authority concerned to consider.
