Social Welfare and Pensions (No. 2) Bill 2009: Committee Stage (Resumed)
10:00 pm
Nicky McFadden (Fine Gael)
The reason so many avail of rent supplement is 400,000 people are on the live register, all of whom are entitled to rent allowance. The Minister is quite removed and disconnected in stating that. Where will they live if the local authorities do not build houses? They need support. I cannot stand over this provision; it is cold, removed and callous.
