In Sallins, it is a whopping increase from €278 to €2,500. For someone on a low fixed income, that will cause huge problems. Does Mr. Rowe accept that and what is he proposing to help deal with that problem? As others have said, in other areas there are means-tested supports or reduced rates. Mr. Rowe has said that people can move to an unserviced location. An older couple living in a serviced location need those services. To be effectively told they will be evicted to an unserviced location does not work.
