Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)
Rent supplement was introduced as a short-term measure. The original idea was that rent to a private landlord would be supplemented for a short period of time until a person was housed through the local authority system or rehoused in some other way. It has become a much more long-term provision. The intention is that the longer term element of the rent supplement system will be integrated with the housing provision measures of the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government and local authorities.
