I have been informed by Kildare County Council that the Rental Accommodation Scheme is not suspended. The Council is at present reviewing the administration of the scheme within the authority with a view to better integrating its operation within its Housing Section. Kildare County Council has transferred 242 recipients from Rent Supplement to RAS since its inception in January 2007 and has further applications and transfers pending.
