Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 17 October 2013
14. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Social Protection if she will allow leeway in the rent cap in respect of persons (details supplied) in County Dublin; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [43413/13]
View answerAccording to the records of this Department the persons concerned are a family with five dependent children. A rent supplement application from an applicant with five dependent children is assessed on a case by case basis, as a maximum rent limit is not stipulated within the maximum rent limit guidelines for such cases. It is open to the persons concerned to contact their local community welfare service to discuss the options available to them.
