Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 July 2020
717. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Employment Affairs and Social Protection if rent support can be made available in the case of a person (details supplied); and if she will make a statement on the matter. [14972/20]
View answerAccording to the records of my Department, no application for a Rent Supplement has been received from the person concerned. It is standard procedure where a person is residing in a HAP designated area and is on a Local Authority housing list, that the person in the first instance makes an application to their Local Authority for a Housing Assistance Payment (HAP).
I trust this clarifies the matter.
