887. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for Social Protection if she will review the impact of the sharp reduction in the rent support in areas in which local demand for rent accommodation is high and local authority housing application waiting lists are excessive in view of the lack of a proper public housing construction programme over the last ten years; if she recognises the need to vary rent support to meet the requirements of applicants for rent support on local authority housing lists; if she will consider local regional loans for the determination of maximum rents as opposed to the country-wide structures currently in existence which are perfectly adequate in areas with available rent accommodation but cause unnecessary hardship to applicants in areas affected by a lack of adequate rented accommodation; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
