PQ 662
662. Deputy Seamus Healy asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he will increase the income limit thresholds for housing applicants to realistic levels, in view of the fact that the current low limits have the effect of ensuring that many families neither qualify for local authority housing or for a mortgage and are condemned to paying a significant part of their income on long term private rented accommodation; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
