Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 7 October 2014
468. Deputy Michael Creed asked the Minister for Education and Skills her proposals to promote the rent-a-room relief scheme as a partial solution to the crisis in student accommodation provision; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [37887/14]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe rent-a-room scheme was introduced in the Finance Act 2001 as an incentive to encourage individuals to let rooms in their sole or main residence. Further information on the rent-a-room scheme is available from the Revenue Commissioners who provide a guidance note in the "Leaflets" section of their website, www.revenue.ie. I have no proposals to promote the rent-a-room scheme as it does not fall within the remit of my Department.
