Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 13 December 2018
208. Deputy Michael Healy-Rae asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection the number of persons in County Kerry in receipt of rent allowance; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [52486/18]
View answerAt the end of October there were 25,654 recipients of Rent Supplement nationally, of whom 825 were resident in Kerry.
At the same time, there were 71 recipients of a Rent Allowance payment nationally. This is an allowance payable to tenants of certain dwellings affected by the de-control of rents on 26 July 1982. I regret that a breakdown of this figure by county is not available.
