Housing Provision
Dail Éireann — 2023-03-09
============================================================

Ruairí Ó Murchú (SF), Louth

Will the Minister of State consider local authorities' definition of "adequately housed", where grown adults are living in their parents' home or another house, are deemed to be adequately housed and, on that basis, are not then included on the social housing list? They meet the other criteria like income thresholds and such. In some cases they feel they are forced into seeking private rentals, which reduces supply, and we all know the issues that exist in relation to supply, especially with the removal of the eviction ban. It is a small solution we need to look at.
