2015 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 34 - Environment, Community and Local Government

9:00 am

Mr. John McCarthy:

There is greater discretion available to a householder who is eligible for the HAP scheme to source a particular type of accommodation to which he or she might want to make some contribution also.
