Dublin City Council has agreed to review the no-pets policy in their new social homes in Whitehall.
This comes after the Council’s controversial advert for 124 new social homes in Whitehall which included the words “NO PETS ALLOWED” underlined in bold capital letters. Cllr Mannix Flynn told Dublin Live he received multiple calls from “extremely distressed and full of anxiety” pet owners.
Mr Flynn added he is prepared to take the issue to the courts if he deems it necessary. He said: “Dublin City Council Housing Committee and the Dublin Region Homeless Executive who will be across 4,000 bodies have agreed to relook at this and review this. And I certainly hope that that review is fairly quick because I certainly don't want to end up in a court case with the State of 4,000 bodies on behalf of the many clients that have contacted me with that express idea.”
