The council also hopes to raise an additional €4 million by increasing social housing rents. This would be done by calculating rents based on 16 per cent of the weekly income of the principal earner, after allowances, instead of 15 per cent. In practice that would mean a tenant earning €203 a week would pay €27.36 instead of €25.65 and a tenant at the higher end of the income spectrum, earning €759 a week, would pay €116.32 weekly instead of €109.05.
Is just not fair.
