Housing body under fire over vandalism

PEOPLE are getting social housing in Limerick who shouldn’t be let into a field, it was claimed at a housing meeting of the city council.

The head of Respond, the voluntary housing agency, told the meeting that the very high level of anti-social behaviour in Limerick resulted in vandalism to the houses they provide for the city’s homeless.

A number of councillors launched scathing attacks on Respond during the housing Strategic Policy Committee meeting.
