Vote 38 – Social Protection
Chapter - 24 Supplementary Welfare Allowance

Ms Niamh O'Donoghue:

It will, but the point I am making is that the two systems will then operate side by side, with the rent supplement system returning to its original objective. In doing that, I think we need to look again at how we can take on board the restructuring of rent supplement in a way that might take some of the issues raised by the Deputy into consideration. We have to be aware that this will fundamentally alter the nature of the scheme.
