    Ra hasn't changed but apparently the local councils will be changing it. The only actual change in the budget is the amount the tenant pays has gone up. I think it is gone from €6 to €30 couldn't find it myself

    There will be new limits applied in 2012 according to Minister Burton.

    singles now pay €30 instead of €24 , couples now pay €35 instead of €24

    I grew up in a ****e neighbourhood , you could call it a welfare neighbourhood , and this middle/upper class idea that people on welfare procreate for commercial gain is stupid , people like this have loads of kids because they they are ignorant , because they know no better, very few have an extra kid for an extra €20 a week , and many that I know are stuck tenfold kids because abortion is not an option in Ireland.

    Getting off the point.....I worked since i was fifteen..... 18 years later I am made redundant.....Get on a course that will allow me to go to college......

    But I CANNOT get rent allowance as the government has deemed you can only have a place that costs 529 euro..... I have paid my taxes to this land for years...... now if I want to got to college..... I have to become a criminal

    Are you telling me you can't find somewhere for €529 per month? I think you might want to spend a little more time on Daft before you switch to a life of crime.

    I think he is more annoyed that the allowance won't let him rent a good one bedroom apartment or better to himself where he wants. Ironically because the rental prices are propped up by rent allowance.

    Rent a studio apartment or house share. Like the rest of us do.
