Can there be an examination of whether there are top-ups? It is a difficult matter to examine. Some work has been done on this and it has improved the situation but we should keep a close eye on whether levels of rent subsidy are appropriate around the country. One of my colleagues spoke about the difference between rent supplement in north Kildare and south Kildare and how levels need to be higher. The point has been taken on board to some degree but needs to be constantly watched because there are likely to be changes in that situation.
