Select Committee on Social Protection

Rent Supplement Increases: Department of Social Protection

10:30 am

Ms Helen Faughnan:

I welcome Dún Laoghaire’s proactive approach, particularly the fact that it has only one void, because that has been a problem and many local authorities have been tackling it and trying to turn them around much more quickly. There is nothing worse than seeing an empty house or apartment when families need a home. I welcome the Deputy’s comments.
