Current Housing Demand: Discussion (Resumed)
1:20 pm
Mr. Tommy Ryan:
They can access rent supplement in Roscommon. They do not get a letter putting them on the social housing list but they can certainly access rent supplement. There is no issue with people not being able to get accommodation for themselves in the case of a family separation and the ownership of the family home being sorted.
