Choice based letting -Dublin homeless

Nobody here can tell you where you are on the list. The council can though.

Bear in mind housing lists are dynamic and points based. It's entirely possible to be #5 one week and #20 the next because it's not just based on time on the list, it's based on housing need.

A lot.

I work in finance and my colleague has had to tender her resignation and move back to Brazil as she can't secure accommodation for herself and her son. She has been approved for Hap and can't find anywhere to take her on, she can't afford to rent on her own anymore.

She has been here for 10 years and paid taxes and put herself through college as well.

So if a tax payer on a modest income can't put her a roof over her head we have a massive problem with people underneath that level having a chance too.

…oh wait till all the anti-immigration stuff really kicks in…..

Best of luck OP, really hope you catch a break!

100% agree, I thought €46k was a 'good' salary.

Not anymore

You misinterpreted what I said.

I said 1 bed apartment's "should" be accessible for people on 46k.

Not that they are.

I am sorry to hear the situation you are in.

I do hope you are not paying maintenance for the kid your brother fathered.

By the way you are doing a great job paying maintenance. You will be surprised how many fathers out there don't pay a penny and get away with it.
