A 40-year-old man with Down syndrome who wants to live independently has brought a High Court challenge aimed at compelling Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council to assess his suitability for social housing.

While he wants to live independently, he is currently not in a position to do so for financial reasons and has applied to the local authority for housing assistance. As a result, he has brought judicial review proceedings against Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, the Minister for Children, Equality, Disability Integration and Youth, Ireland and the Attorney General.
