Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Implementation of Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Colm Ward:
To clarify, in the existing scheme a household living in one of our tenancies that is below the social housing income threshold will pay 10% of its net income as its rent. For every €10 earned above that, you pay 10% of it, so it is a tiered approach. In terms of the funding mechanism, we have quite a buoyant rent base and it covers our maintenance and management costs.
