Paul Connaughton
Ceist:118 Deputy Paul J. Connaughton asked the Minister for Social Protection in a case in which a county council proposes to enter into a long-term leasing agreement with a couple in major mortgage arrears, who are in receipt of farm assist, if the income, which is paid to the bank directly in respect of the mortgage, while the couple have to find alternative accommodation, will be treated as income for social welfare purposes; in view of the fact that if it is, this prevents the couple from accessing social welfare payments, leaving them destitute; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
