Hi Protocol, thankyou for reply. I have read the above summary, but does not quite give the answer I'm looking for. I am in receipt of DA at present, and looking to relocate to another part of Ireland. We would potentially get €500 per month if we rented our present property. To rent where we want to go would be appx €800 per month. So we would not be gaining any income. My question is can we actually do this and would SW view the €500 as income in this case ? Thanks again.
