163. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if he will increase the homeless HAP limit to 50% which is the current rate in Dublin to counties Kildare, Meath and Wicklow in circumstances in which there is no affordable accommodation available in the three counties within the HAP limits and families are forced into homelessness by virtue of the caps being so low and in view of the fact that the local authority similarly pays 90% of the market rent in leasing schemes that are unavailable to HAP recipients that are new entrants onto the housing list; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
