Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 April 2023
805. Deputy Michael Ring asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the number of applications for the repair and leasing scheme (details supplied) that did not proceed due to a lack of housing demand; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [17377/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraData on the repair and leasing scheme in respect of all local authorities to end Q4 2022 is published on my Department’s website at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/collection/6060e-overall-social-housing-provision/#repair-and-leasing-scheme-rls.
While the Department issues general guidance on the scheme, it has no direct role in deciding on individual applications. Local authorities determine eligibility for the scheme by taking account of local need, the suitability of dwellings, sustainable community considerations and value for money.
My Department does not hold information on housing needs at a sub-county level.
