Housing Schemes
Dail Éireann — 2023-11-09
============================================================

Violet-Anne Wynne (IND), Clare

I raised this point during the week, but I wish to do so again to see if I can get a commitment from the Minister. It concerns the vacancy requirement for this scheme. It is set at two years currently. Recently, my colleagues on Clare County Council passed a resolution in an effort to seek a reduction in this time from two years to six months. I support the councillors in this request.
I also understand that a review is to begin in the middle of next year. I would be grateful if consideration could be given to bringing this process forward to Christmas of this year.
