420. Deputy Mick Barry asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection further to Parliamentary Question No. 588 of 27 March 2018, if her response will be reviewed in view of the fact that the house co-owned by a person (details supplied) is occupied by members of their extended family so they cannot divest their interest in it or profit from the rental income.

In relation to the assessment of the property it has been reviewed and is still deemed as assessable at half the value. The property is not personally used or enjoyed by the customer or his spouse, and as such could be put to profitable use.

A letter regarding the revised decision issued to the customer on the 23 March 2018. It is open to him to request a review or an appeal of this decision.

I trust this clarifies the matter for the deputy.
