The cost of rent in Kerry for families and one-parent families with three or four children has become very high. It is €1,200 a month. I want to ask about the housing assistance payment cap. The housing assistance payment in Kerry is capped at €575. Other counties have a much higher cap. In light of the increase in the cost of houses per month, which is €1,200 to €2,000 per month in Killarney and other big towns such as Kenmare and Dingle, will the Government do something about raising the housing assistance payment cap in Kerry?
