Amharc ar fhreagraI can confirm for the Deputy that I was briefed by officials in the usual course on arrival in this Department and the Accommodation Recognition Payment was flagged as a priority. I have also been briefed in person and in writing when considering the scheme’s future.
As required under the governing legislation, I have consulted with the Minister for Social Protection and the Minister for Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform on the scheme’s future.
I have also received correspondence from numerous stakeholders, including NGOs, civil society organisations, public officials and members of the public, concerning the scheme and its future.
