Meath County Council

That Meath County Council works with the Minister to amend the current nationwide directive which states tenants in arrears cannot be considered for housing adaptations or house transfers. The current rule is unfair and detrimental to tenants who have fallen behind in arrears due to ill health and now are in need of alternative living arrangements due to the same ill health. These cases should be treated on a case by case basis. /Go n-oibrí Comhairle Chontae na Mí leis an Aire maidir leis an treoir náisiúnta reatha a deireann nach nglacfar le tionóntaí a bhfuil riaráistí acu le haghaidh cóiriú tithíochta nó athrú tí. Tá an riail reatha míchothromach agus cuireann sé i gcoinne tionóntaí a bhfuil riaráistí acu de bharr tinneas agus anois a bhfuil socruithe tithíochta eile uathu dá bharr. Ba chóir plé leis na cásanna seo cás i ndiaidh cás.
