Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 18 October 2016
307. Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Social Protection further to Parliamentary Question No. 154 of 6 October 2016, if approved housing bodies are counted as landlords providing multiple lettings in the table provided in reply to that question. [30206/16]
View answerThe rent supplement scheme is currently supporting some 50,700 recipients for which the Government has provided €267 million for in 2016. The most recent analysis, undertaken in June 2016, shows that there are approximately 39,200 landlords providing accommodation to rent supplement customers, of which approximately 260 refer to registered approved housing bodies. In general the number of tenancies provided per approved housing body under rent supplement is approximately two units.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
