404. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for the Environment; Community and Local Government if it was an intended consequence that some housing applicants had to remove themselves from a housing waiting list and reapply to another housing authority in order to qualify for rent assistance; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that the application may be refused because they cannot demonstrate a connection to the area; if his attention has been drawn to the fact that this can substantially delay the application process during which rent assistance is not paid; if his further attention has been drawn to the fact that the various schemes of letting priorities weight length of time on the waiting list favourably and new applicants must start again; if he is considering any amendment to legislation or guidance to local authorities; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
