Cork County Council’s property database not used by those on housing list

More than half of people on waiting list fail to use system

More than half of the people on the housing waiting list in Co Cork still have not logged onto a new online system which allows them to view vacant local authority properties and express interest in them.

Figures released by the county council showed that, of 6,498 people issued with personal identification numbers (PINs) to log onto the system, only 3,702 have done so to date.
