The Abuse Faced by a Laois Councillor Pat Kenny Show

Have a listen to my interview with Pat Kenny on news talk on Friday morning. My nerves got the better of me and I made some errors with figures. Here is the correct income threshold for people entitled to social housing:

Single Adult- €35,0002Adults- €36,7501 Adult + 1 child- €35,8751 Adult + 2 children- €36,7502 Adults + 1 child- €37,6252 Adults + 3 children- €39,3753 Adults + 4 children- €42,000

I had also mentioned, that there are 39,000 people between Laois & Offaly living at home with their parents, because they can’t afford rent or a mortgage, the correct figure for this is 19,000. (10,000 in Laois and 9,000 in Offaly)
