I am not arguing about the limits. I am arguing about the effect of the limits and what it actively and legally condones. The €575 plus 20% goes straight into the landlord's bank account. The person must pay the differential rent to the council, and rightly so. In addition, he or she must pay the extra to bring the figure up to the market rent, which is anything between €1,000 and €1,500 in Galway city. Does the Secretary General understand?
