    Hi was just wondering can anyone help me I’m on kildare co council housing list 12 years and recently got an interview for a new Clúid house,I’m currently on ras in two bed apt with my husband and three kids,does anyone know would I be with other family’s who are goin for the same house,and would I be in with a good chance,the council rang me yesterday asking me to ring my landlord and tell her I might be moving out and to ring her out of courtesy so I’m a bit confused 🀷*♀️ any help much appreciated.


    Thanks everyone for the reply’s, just to clear few things up me and my husband ain’t scrpungers,we came on hard times he works any hours he can in a ****ty job,we’re on low pay I’ve been on council list before I met my husband that’s why I was on ras,we pay our rent don’t want hand outs just a chance not to be tarred with the same brush,

    TBH, you got an interview. Until you get the house, maybe don't say anything to the landlord, otherwise you could find yourself without a place if you don't get the Clúid house?

    How can one get a mortgage while on benefits?

    This is an extremely snobby comment. Not everyone can get a mortgage.

    This isn't AH. Just because its late at night and there isn't much traffic elsewhere doesn't allow AH standards to extend beyond there

    Its a competitive interview- Clúid will have been given a list of the next 'x' number of eligible applicants from the local authority. The 6-8 families- are interviewed seperately over the course of 8-10 days, and Clúid decide who would best fit into the development (cognisant of the other residents etc- they aren't just looking at your circumstances).

    In all fairness- they are reasonably prompt- I'd fully expect you to hear back from them in under 2 weeks- however, I'd not say anything at all to your landlord- as you are now part of a beauty contest for the Clúid property- even if your interview goes swimmingly- there is nothing to say that they won't choose someone else.

    Put your best foot forward- but don't assume anything- regardless of what they say on the day- until they hand you the keys.

    Yes, your landlord has been good to you- however, you're not doing them- or yourself, any favours- by drawing attention to the fact that you might be leaving- when its a 'chance' rather than anything guaranteed.........

    Ignore those types. All they want is a response.
    Good luck with the interview.
