Answer

Any planned future social housing, whether it is owned by the Housing Executive or by Housing Associations, will be subject to those organisations policies on pet ownership. Therefore, whether a tenant is permitted to keep a pet in their home now or in the future is an operational matter for the Housing Executive and Housing Associations.
