Ballymun Rent Allowance Exclusion Zone
This is the area in Ballymun where for social engineering reasons,the City Council and the Department of Social Welfare do not allow welfare recipients to receive rent allowance. It is to prevent a single social class welfare class in Ballymun. I am opposed to this as it pressurises many people with close family ties in the area to leave. This makes life difficult for single perents whose own family in in Ballymun. I have fought some of these cases over the years and it is a nuisance.
