30-31 for enabling review and rent increases on council rentals. Very very on the line.
It doesn’t seem to be a blanket increase for all renting through the council, but could see folks with low rent agreements seeing large increases over time.
Bit of a bait title from the journal to catch the eye.
It will be interesting to see how they roll it out.
I’d be disappointed if anyone is getting a 50% increase in one go regardless of what their rent might be. That’s a shock to any ones system, has to have a measured approach to ensure the services can be funded at the very least.

They’re still, even at this rate, paying peanuts.
Needs to rise more, so that social housing is sustainable. More rent means more budget, means more houses, being in a council house shouldn’t be a lottery ticket

They could go all on social housing, raise the threshold to €100k for a couple and get the social mix, even at 20% of income rents will be sustainable and allow more to be built..

I accept that this increase will be a burden on some people, but 18% of income is reasonable and fair.
Honestly, this is play acting from PBP, SD, SF. Another indication they are not serious about governing. This isn’t even a tough decision. Maintenance is a huge problem in DCC.

Should make it 33% and use the money to build more social housing.

Looks like I’m still commuting to work.
Good to see sanity prevails occasionally
