Written answers

Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection

The client concerned was found ineligible for Rent Supplement on 16th October 2015 as he is in full time employment. If they wish to re-apply as a result of a change in their circumstances, the client should submit a Rent Supplement Application for assessment to the Mid Leinster Rents Unit, PO Box 11758, Dublin 24. The Unit can be contacted by phone on LoCall 1890 800698.
