Mr. R?n?n Hession:

It comes from the 1990s. As to how the €95.23 housing disregard affects people now, the average maintenance payment is €58 per week. According to the figures I have with me, 40% of the people getting maintenance have housing costs below that threshold and 24% use the full €95.23 to offset their maintenance amounts. In the latter case, the assessed means after the threshold come to approximately €30 on average. We can follow up with the committee on these figures to save members having to scribble them down.
