I have two questions for the Department officials. Will people, in particular lone parents, who obtain increased working hours and as a result move from jobseeker's allowance to the family income supplement, which is a lot more favourable to them financially, lose their rent supplement?

Has the Peter McVerry Trust and Clúid, as housing agencies, been able to access finance to purchase leases or build houses? If not, are there are plans to do so? Also, what progress, if any, has there been in relation to the NAMA social dividend in terms of social housing supply?
