Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 April 2016
764. Deputy Mary Lou McDonald asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he is aware that a housing association (details supplied) is increasing the rent for a number of its residents; if he will intervene on this matter as he did in 2014; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5976/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraI am aware of the background to this particular social housing development including recent developments in relation to rents. In the first instance, the issue of rents charged by the approved housing body that manages the development is a matter on which they consult with Dublin City Council, as well as with the tenants.
I understand that Dublin City Council will be arranging to meet with the approved housing body to discuss the matter shortly.
