223 Mr. N. Ahern asked the Minister for Social Welfare the amounts paid in 1996 in rent allowances and mortgage allowances; and the guidelines, if any, available to rent allowance applicants in the Dublin area. [7587/97]
The figures requested by the Deputy for rent and mortgage interest supplements for 1996 are currently available only up to the end of November, but it is expected that the full expenditure figures for 1996 should be available in April 1997. I will provide the Deputy with these figures as soon as they become available.
