Thomas Pringle (IND), Donegal

A married couple with two children, earning more than €28,000 a year, cannot get on the Donegal County Council housing list. The thresholds across the country are supposed to be reviewed by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage as it is its responsibility. Will the Taoiseach ensure that this review takes place? There is no way that a married couple which earns €30,000 per year, or even €40,000 a year, could buy a house in Donegal with their own means. The only option for them is the council housing list which they are disbarred from because of the Government's policy.
