Written answers

As housing authorities, local authorities are responsible for the identification of the social housing need in their area.

It is a matter for Dun-Laoghaire Rathdown County Council to determine the most appropriate response to the need for social housing supports in their area and to make the necessary application (which could include programmes involving approved housing bodies) to my Department for consideration.

Dun-Laoghaire Rathdown County Council have advised my Department that they are endeavoring to work with the tenants at St. Helen's Court to assist them in finding alternative accommodation.
