10 KCC homes are vacant on a single street in Prosperous.
A Kildare TD says it makes no financial sense to put people on the Housing Assistance Payment when there are vacant local authority homes.
10 homes on a single road, Anne Street, are vacant in Prosperous, and have been for some time.
Councillors have been engaging with Kildare County Council on the matter.
Kildare North Sinn Féin TD, Réada Cronin, has been speaking to Kildare Today.
She councils have no control over much of the housing market, but they do have control over the turn-around of their own stock.
Deputy Cronin joined Eoin Beatty on Monday's edition of Kildare Today.
