#Karl Deeter now debating this with Ruth Coppinger on Radio1.
It's full on dog eat dog!
According to Deeter, the rent for a 2 bed in Dublin (from the local authority) is a max of €62 per week. He's also making the point that people who get social housing, seem to hold on to it for life no matter whether their circumstances improve or not.
€21m of rent arrears for Dublin Corpo.
30% of rentals in Dublin are in arrears according to Deeter last week on Drivetime
The €62 weekly figure I quoted above is the max contribution from the tenant, not the Taxpayer funded element
“Of course it has and when you look at the figures though, let’s just examine them, look at the two-bed houses – average rent on those is €62 a week. The average rent overall is about €59 a week. The highest rent being charged in all of Dublin city and lmost likely for a five or six-bed house is €228 a week which is about €990 per month. Now what I would say then, is when you look at the five-bedroom houses and six-bedroom houses on average, it’s €80 a week or €117 a week. Which is a price so good that you simply, it can’t be matched anywhere.
I'm only quoting what the guy said!
Actually, Broadsheet have a transcript of the 1st part of the interview...so better detail in that than v's what I was trying to repost

That is incorrect. Perhaps you are confused and thinking of Rent Supplement or RAS, you would still be incorrect though
From Dublin City Council website

1 Bedroom (2 rooms) - €301.00
2 Bedroom (3 rooms) - €313.00
3 Bedroom (4 rooms) - €401.00
Greater than 3 Bedroom/4 rooms - €423.00
What about a single father with two children?Single mother with 2 kids for example...no council would move them out.
What about a single father with two children?
If there's a mother with a child, somewhere there's a father with a child. Funny how they are always left out of a topic like this...
I guess what I'm trying to get at is that the state / society / SW / co.co assumes responsibility for families with one resident parent. The non-resident parent, particularly if not married, is allowed to abdicate their responsibility.
The non-resident will only be pursued for child maintenance if the primary carer has the time, energy and willingness to bring cases to court. Many, I would say the vast majority (anecdotal,there are no reliable figures available) just give up in the end as the process is so trying.
