In the past week, I highlighted the case of a family with two autistic children who are living in a tent because they are entitled to absolutely no housing support at all, whether that is the housing assistance payment, HAP, emergency accommodation or social housing, because they are over the social housing income thresholds. For about two years now, I have highlighted the case of a mother who works for a State agency, is living with her child in the same bedroom in emergency accommodation, is not entitled to HAP or social housing and, at one point, was threatened with eviction from emergency accommodation.

These are the bitter fruits of the Government's refusal to raise the income thresholds for social housing and HAP. If someone is not entitled to social housing because of his or her income, that individual is not entitled to HAP or emergency accommodation. The Government recently published a review that was completed in November. That review concluded that we need another review. When will we actually raise the thresholds on social housing? My minute is up now.

Deputy-----

That was my minute. I was watching.

I am following the minutes very carefully. I ask the Deputy to co-operate with me. All the other Deputies are waiting to get in under the 30 minutes allocated.

I acknowledge that this is an issue the Deputy has consistently raised. Leaving social housing income limits aside, it should not be the case that a family with two children with special needs are sleeping rough so I ask the Deputy to please provide us with the details of the case so that we can ensure it is followed up on. The Minister, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, has increased the limits for five different counties. From speaking with him recently and discussions at a Cabinet committee, I believe he is very close to a final decision on the rest of the country.
