PQ 2
5 Deputy Clare Daly asked the Minister for Social Protection the reasoning behind the rates of rent allowance cuts arising from Budget 2011; her views that these cuts will force persons to move and change their children’s school because they will be unable to afford to stay in the areas they currently live in; if a poverty impact assessment has been done to measure the effect of the rent allowance reductions on families already struggling to make ends meet and the effects in terms of increasing the risk of homelessness as a result of the cuts; and in view of the above problems with a reduction in rent allowance, if she will ensure that vacant residential properties held by the National Assets Management Agency would be taken over and used as social housing.
