40-year-old David Johnstone with Down syndrome sues Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council for social housing assessment delay, claiming breach of rights and entitlements.
40-year-old David Johnstone, a man with Down syndrome, has taken Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council to High Court, seeking an assessment of his suitability for social housing after over a decade of waiting. Deemed eligible for support in 2012, Johnstone alleges the council hasn't identified appropriate support or carried out a compliant assessment under the 2009 Housing Act. He claims this delay breaches his rights and entitlements, and the case will return to court next month.
