Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Interim Report on Homelessness: Discussion
John Cummins (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
We previously made a recommendation on the homeless HAP uplift. In my experience in Waterford, there is a difficulty because the HAP limits are artificially low and we can only have a 20% uplift whereas in Dublin it can go to 50%. That is causing quite a problem. When the Minister visited the integrated hub in Waterford he said he was considering the matter, and he is on record in the House saying the same. What is Ms Breathnach's view on that issue? I would also ask Ms Timmons what action is being taken to address it.
