    I doubt it's anything near that,. The housing benefit there is paid direct to the LL AFAIK.

    Dearth of Irish data- and of the data we have, most of it relates to mortgage rather than rent arrears. 14% of privately rented accommodation is in arrears, totalling mortgages just under 35 billion. These are next on the hitlist for lending institutions (along with small scale developers and those with debts of under 15m).

    The Irish market doesn't have the clarity thats available in the UK- however, its a good assumption that things are going to go rapidly downhill, esp. with the property tax next year.

    14% seems to be a fairly high figure. Whats the international average and turning a recession what does 14% stand out as ?
