    Hi,

    Are you still on the housing list or are you only eligible for a transfer?

    We are on the housing list cause this is own by the council. I'm on the transfer list but still no joy.

    Unfortunately OP there is a housing crisis in Ireland, especially in Dublin. So although your conditions are not ideal you are in a better position to a lot of other people.

    Could you speak to your GP about the baby not sleeping?

    when you were placed on the housing list you have been sent a letter with a reference number and a pin number. With this information u can go onto the sdcc website and apply for 'choice based letting' Have you heard about this scheme?

    If you are housed by DCC then you cant apply for housing in SDCC but you can apply for Choice Based Lettings in DCC.

    Any vacancies under Choice Based Lettings will be put on the Dublin City Council website ( I can't post the link as I'm only registered on boards)

    It doesn't matter what the nurse knows: that won't help you get a better house.

    You need to get a letter from the Doctor, and give it to the council.

    As well as the Doctor, also visit one of your local authority elected councillors as well. Show them the bedsit or at least take photos for them. Never mind the haters on here, best of luck with getting more suitable accommodation, and wanting to better conditions and chances for yourself, your partner and your little one. It will be onwards and upwards, you'll see, and in turn your bedsit will be useful for a single person who needs accommodation.
