"Kilkenny Council County has a policy of not discussing individual cases concerning housing maintenance works. As a local authority we have a housing stock in excess of 2,800 units and endeavour to work in partnership with tenants based on tenancy agreements and the shared responsibilities of the tenant handbook," a council spokesperson told Kilkenny Live.
"We offer maintenance tips directly to tenants concerning items sure as condensation, minimising moisture spread and heating/energy conservation. We provide an effective maintenance response service assessing nearly 7,000 maintenance requests in 2024.
"Kilkenny County Council provide both planned and responsive maintenance works to existing stock utilising funding through our planned maintenance programme, energy retrofit programme and housing adaption grant scheme," the council spokesperson concluded.
