Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 10 February 2021
329. Deputy Martin Kenny asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the reason Sligo County Council has ignored the request by professionals who are providing medical evidence for persons (details supplied) in order that they can be added to the priority housing list in County Sligo; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6997/21]
View answerThe allocation of local authority dwellings, including the prioritisation of certain households, is a matter for the local authority concerned, in accordance with their allocation scheme made under section 22 of the Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009 and associated Regulations. As Minister I am precluded by housing legislation from intervening in relation to the procedures followed, or decisions made, by local authorities in the provision of social housing support in individual cases.
