Vote 42 — Rural and Community Development (Further Revised) (11 Apr 2019)

Jonathan O'Brien: The Minister outlined what the moneys outlined in the Revised Estimates would be used for. I wish to focus on two areas, one of which is the increased provision for the housing assistance payment, HAP, scheme to account for 16,000 extra tenancies.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Governance and Funding of Football Association of Ireland: Discussion (16 Apr 2019)
