Sligo councillor warns outdated income thresholds push families off housing list

Councillor Declan Bree claims income thresholds for social housing in Sligo have not kept pace with inflation, causing low-to-middle-income families to be removed from the housing list. He proposes annual indexation against inflation and cost of living. The claim is based on local political advocacy, with no official data cited, and its impact is limited to local housing policy.
