Rent supplement has been reduced a number of times in recent months. Will the introduction of this mechanism stabilise that situation, thus alleviating the problem in terms of the number of people being forced into homelessness? Will the result of this be no further cuts to rent supplement? The situation in this regard is chaotic, with many people having to leave their homes because landlords are insisting they pay €950 per month rather than €850 per month and so on. This is happening across the board. It is hoped the new system will stabilise this.
