Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection if her attention has been drawn to the hardship caused by the system currently in use by her Department whereby particular administrative areas such as counties or boroughs are used to determine the maximum rent payable to those on council housing lists and in need of rehousing due to the very serious variations caused by local factors which has raised the rents in the market place to the extent that local authority housing applicants living in such areas cannot avail of rent support other than by relocating to an area distant from them and beyond the reach of their families; if she will therefore carry out an examination based on the number of queries and or complaints received arising from such issues with a view to ensuring that rent support is made available to those who are currently being deprived and suffering severe hardship; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
