The supplementary welfare allowance scheme (SWA), which includes rent supplement, is administered on my behalf by the community welfare division of the Health Service Executive.

The table below shows the administration cost of the SWA scheme for 2005, 2006 and 2007.

Payment is made in respect of the total cost incurred in administering the SWA scheme. There is no breakdown available to show the cost of administering components of the supplementary allowance scheme such as rent supplement.
