The Budget for Rent Supplement in 2019 is €132.4m, as published in the 2019 Budget Estimates on Budget Day.

Expenditure on Rent Supplement is declining as a result of the transfer of recipients to the Housing Assistance Payment administered by local authorities and funded from the Vote of the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government.
