John Gerard Hanafin (Fianna Fail)

I ask the Leader for a debate on the subvention for private rented accommodation, particularly on the trend to increase rents not only by the amount of inflation but also that of mortgage increases. Many people depend on the subvention and are on the maximum rent supplement. While it is outside our control, we should note and debate it as it could become a difficulty. We must ensure those in receipt of the supplement receive good value.
