For reference 1000 eur net per week is approx 70k per year gross.
Whats the current debt from non paying tenants? it was 40m a few years ago
Increasing rent makes no difference if you are not going to bother to collect it
Good, I do find it amusing that Mannix flynn is complaining about the council fixing problems „caused by the council“ when he’s been a member of said council for the last 16 years.
The whole self employed „assumed income of 700 per week“ though is utterly weird
Article is paywalled, but I heard on the radio they want to increase the rent from 15% of net weekly take home pay, to 18%. That’s very minor, compared to the private rental sector
The entire system needs an overhaul. The house shouldn’t be for life. There’s no sense in giving a 3 or 4 bed house to someone with 3 kids, then the kids grow up and move on and 1 person is left living in a 3 bed. They should be moved into a 1 bed apartment and make the house available again to a family. And more oven than not it’s a generational thing where the kids grow ups have kids and expect another free house.
That’s only the start: it should be reviewed every 5 years and if their circumstances change they should be either evicted or the rent increased to market value. Too many single people with kids getting “free” houses and 3 years later they are married with a brand new car outside the door.

*The move comes after an analysis of tenant incomes found more than a fifth of council households have an after-tax income greater than €1,000 a week but are paying heavily subsidised rents, with the average charge across the scheme €83 per week.*
*The council also plans to increase the assessable income of self-employed tenants. Currently, taxi drivers and other “non-trade” businesses are assessed on an “assumed net income” of €500 a week, whiles tradespeople – plumbers, electricians, etc – are assumed to have a net income of €560 a week. This will be increased to €700 for all self-employed tenants.*
*Of the council’s stock of just over 26,000 flats and houses, 5,854 are occupied by households with net incomes of more than €1,000 a week.*
Basically, if you get a council house, you win the Lotto in this country
Right call and should’ve been done much sooner, given DCCs housing stock of 26k+ units is of an older condition. The current rent roll isn’t even covering the annual repairs and maintenance expenditure, which is seeing other service areas capital having to be deployed to fill the gap.
I would like to see rents tied to the BER as well as rent. I don’t think it is far that someone living in a passive house standard apartment or house is paying the same rent as someone in a shitty damp flat.
..and his figgin placed upon a spike.
I know someone who was able to buy her council house, move in with her new husband and now rents out the council house privately. It boils my blood. Why the fuck is that allowed? Why was she allowed to buy it in the first place when it’s council stock and why is nobody monitoring this abuse?
Someone with a large amount of disposable income does not need council social housing.
A couple with adult kids who have moved out, no longer need 3-4 bed houses and should be moved to smaller properties.
