Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West, Fianna Fail)

I assure the Deputy I am tackling this whole issue. I have had a number of meetings in regard to the rent supplement scheme. I have met all of the relevant bodies and I will consider the suggestions the Deputy has made. I have been considering suggestions such as that and I am working on a number of other issues in regard to the rent supplement scheme, one of which will be dealt with in the Bill we will be discussing this week, where, for example, we will be addressing the issue of the RSI number. I am reforming the scheme. Some issues are easier to deal with than others and I will move on all of these as speedily as possible.
