Housing Policy
Dail Éireann — 2021-06-23
============================================================

Malcolm Noonan (GP), Carlow-Kilkenny

The Deputy has raised a significant issue. The review of income thresholds is under way. Within the frame of that it is important the issues raised this morning be given consideration. I apologise again to the Deputy; perhaps the question did not frame exactly the response he sought but there could be a follow-up with the Department. I urge him to make this representation through the review of income thresholds which is under way. It is probably the best place to try to give consideration to the flexibility the Deputy is seeking on behalf of his constituents. It is an important matter. The credit that people on the housing waiting list build up over a number of years is significant. I again stress that the review process is probably the best place to try to give consideration to that.
