Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)

Does the Minister of State agree that the scheme is subsidising private landlords? As such, the State should insist on the best possible standards. Some 48,000 families are in homes that are not of the highest standard, yet the State is paying for the scheme. What action will the Minister of State take to prosecute landlords for ripping the State off, as is happening? What extra inspections will be carried out to ensure that the landlords of sub-standard dwellings will no longer be allowed to receive State subsidies?
