The call from Ballinamore Municipal District Councillor Enda McGloin follows a recent report from the National Oversight and Audit Commission, which found that it takes more than 32 weeks on average for a vacant council home to be re-let.

 

The vacancy rate for such housing has fallen to 2.44 per cent, its lowest level since 2015.

 

The Drumshanbo councillor says the 32-week period taken to re-let homes needs to be addressed during a housing crisis.
