Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Private Rental Sector: Discussion
9:30 am
Dr. Aideen Hayden:
The Senator mentioned the issue of HAP, cash payments and so on. Whether it be HAP or rent supplement, paying under the counter and topping up has been a feature for low-income tenants for decades. Obviously, where there is a significant shortage of supply, the pressure on tenants is even greater than when there is more property on the market. I ask Mr. McCafferty, who works on the front line, to add to that.
