View answerI propose to answer Questions Nos. 318 and 319 together.
I attach for your information two tables showing:
expenditure in the HSE North East area, which includes county Meath, from 1998 to date and expenditure nationally from 1997 to date, and
recipients of rent supplement in county Meath from 2001 to date and recipients nationally from 1997 to date.
Expenditure on rent supplement by county or the number of recipients by Community Welfare Office in county Meath is unavailable. Information on rent supplement recipients by county is only available from 2001.
