Decisions in relation to the payments of rent allowance is a matter for the relevant health board. In the case of County Kilkenny, this responsibility rests with the South Eastern Health Board. My Department has been in contact with the board and has asked the chief executive officer to investigate this matter and respond directly to the Deputy.
