Speaking to reporters at a Fianna Fáil conference of local councillors, the Taoiseach said income thresholds have not been increased for 10 years in most counties.The maximum income to qualify for social housing was increased in Carlow, Clare, Laois, Westmeath and Galway county last month. There is a strict set of criteria that must be met before a person can get on the waiting list for social housing in their area – and once on the list, they could stay on it for years.
In Co Cork, the single person income threshold is a net €30,000 and for a three-adult and four-child family it is €36,000.A mix of advertising and supporting contributions helps keep paywalls away from valuable information like this article.
