Ceisteanna (835)

Bernard Durkan

Ceist:

835. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection the options available to a person (details supplied) in County Kildare who has been informed by her Department that their landlord must reduce their rent again from €800 to €725; her views on whether this rate is correct in view of the increased competition within the rental market in north Kildare; her further views on whether this level of rent supplement is realistic; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

The maximum rent limit for a one parent family, with two children in County Kildare is €725. Analysis shows that for Kildare, there are properties available within the maximum rent limits for rent supplement recipients. A review of this case is being undertaken and the person concerned will be informed of the outcome once the review is completed.
