Noonan: Cut Rent Allowance

Michael Noonan T.D (FG) has called for generous rent allowance payments to be cut from people parttaken in drug dealing and anti social behaviour. Mr Noonan claims the rent allowance payments cost the Limerick taxpayer 20 million euro during 2008. Michael Noonan wants the department of social and family affairs to amend the rent allowance scheme when the department takes it over from the HSE in 2010.
