Covid-19 (Taoiseach): Statements
Dail Éireann — 2020-05-21
============================================================

Marian Harkin (IND), Sligo-Leitrim

The Taoiseach said that rent supplement is means-tested but he knows as well as I do that much of the domestic abuse is around financial abuse. Many of those who are abused are not in a position financially to pay rent. A solution needs to be found and I ask the Taoiseach to work to try to find one.
