Dublin Council’s Rent Hike Sparks Outcry
Description
South Dublin County Council is set to hike social housing rents by 25% starting July 1st, making it the fourth Dublin local authority to raise rents this year — hitting long-term tenants already struggling with soaring energy and food costs. Over 20,000 residents, including those under AHBs and RAS, will see their rent jump from 10% to 12.5% of income. Protesters chanted “we won’t pay,” demanding a pause. Though 12 councillors voted to suspend the hike until public consultation, the chief executive declared the motion unenforceable — leaving tenants facing higher bills with no clear path forward.
