Matter raised at the May meeting of the Kildare Newbridge MD.

Kildare County Council is to write to the Minister and Approved Housing Body Regulatory Authority over residents corporate governance concerns.

It follows a motion before the May meeting of the Kildare Newbidge Municipal District, by Cllrs. Connolly and Pender.

"That this council writes to the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage requesting that he meet virtually or at a social distance with residents of details provided in Newbridge to discuss their concerns in relation to corporate governance at their Approved Housing Body."

Sinn Fein Cllr., Noel Connolly, says there are concerns among some residents in several AHBs.

Kildare County Council, responding at the meeting, said "While this is a matter for the members to decide upon, I can confirm that the regulation of approved housing bodies is dealt with by The Approved Housing Body Regulatory Authority which was established was on the 1st February 2021 and it may be more appropriate to correspond with the Interim Regulator on this matter"

Councillors resolved to write to both the Minister and The Approved Housing Body Regulatory Authority.

Cllr. Connolly joined Ciara Noble on Thursday's edition of Kildare Today on his motions before the May meeting of the Kildare Newbridge Municipal District.
