Question 572: To ask the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if he will review the contents of correspondence (details supplied) and offer advice to the person concerned; his views on whether the schemes available militate against people joining the workforce and becoming self-sufficient; his further views on whether the system prevents the person concerned from availing of an option to own her own home; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

In relation to the correspondence referred to in the question, I am advised that the housing authority has directly been in contact with the individual concerned to inform her of her housing options and of her eligibility for the relevant scheme. Being a tenant under RAS does not affect eligibility for other forms of housing support, including local authority housing and shared ownership, and does not inhibit access to employment.
