    Fingal has been adjusted upwards. I let to a couple with a child there (moved to RAS with them but anyway) and they previously had a cap of 775, now it's back up to 850. The rates in Fingal (at least in the urban areas bordering Dublin city) were unrealistic-there was basically no chance of getting housed under RS there. I gave my tenants the option of moving to RAS (as the council offered close to a reasonable market rate) or of finding alternative accommodation after the reduction to 775 cycled through to them at their last review-775 was just too low when the market rate was considered. I gave them a break and took the 775 for the few MONTHS it took for RAS to go live.

    I'll give the RAS a shot for 5 years and see how it pans out.

    Fairly significant increase in Maynooth, leixlip etc with decoupling from the more rural kildare.

    The RA applicant has to pay €35 themselves so with the rate of €93.75/week it becomes €128.75/week or €558/month, there should be plenty of places for less than €550/month for a single person!

    No it doesn't. The list shows the maximum rents, not the maximun RS.

    Just reread that and it will cause a lot of trouble for many people who will find appropriate accommodation impossible to find as nothing is available at the rate allowed.
