Abstract
The social rented housing sector in Ireland comprises just 10 per cent of the national stock and most of this is managed by local authorities. This sector is highly residualized, with eight out of ten tenants being welfare-dependent and many estates being considered problem estates. This article reviews a series of policy initiatives whose purpose has been to regenerate local authority housing estates and to institute new housing management practices and procedures in local authority housing departments. Considerable effort has gone into policy formulation but, because of insufficient monitoring and evaluation, there is limited available evidence regarding implementation. The existing evidence suggests that implementation has been limited in scope and uneven geographically. The review concludes by outlining the need for a sustained research programme into the implementation and impact of these regeneration and management policies.
