Prompt allocation of available housing
Kemmy asked whether the Minister would direct authorities to allocate housing promptly when it became available. Connolly said allocation was generally immediate or very quick, while Quinn disputed the Minister’s knowledge; the Chair then called the next question.
When the information sought by Deputy Quinn becomes available to the Minister, will he consider sending a directive to all local authorities to allocate housing and accommodation to people as soon as it becomes available?
Comment on this
If the Deputy is talking about the allocation of local authority housing, as far as I know local authorities and corporations allocate houses immediately, or very quickly, provided everything is in order.
