Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2010: Committee and Remaining Stages
5:00 pm
Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West, Fianna Fail)
Some 95,000 people are receiving rent supplement and 32,000 are in receipt of payments for more than 18 months. The provision for 2009 was €510 million and that for 2010 is €512 million. The Deputy must understand rents have decreased and, therefore, the allocation will accommodate more people.
