Housing Minister Darragh O’Brien
This afternoon.
Via RTE news:
Following discussions at Cabinet this morning, the proportion of rental income, which must be paid under the Fair Deal scheme, will be cut from 80% to 40%.
Up to 8,000 Homes are currently vacant because their owners are in the care of nursing homes.
The Cabinet has heard that around 500 homes pledged by the public have now been passed on to local authorities who will allocate them to people from Ukraine seeking refuge here.
Some 13,000 calls have been made to those who offered accommodation and the aim is to have followed up on all the pledges by the end of the Easter period.
