    The maximum your entitled to is 200 pm with a minimum weekly contribution of €30 from your self so you get €70 rent supplement .

    That's in shared accommodation. Living on your own, the max is €375 in Limerick, which means your rent will need to be reduced to that amount before you can even apply (you can't be paying more that the maximum limit)

    Crap can't believe I missed that

    Sorry op completely miss quoted the figures .

    The maximum you can get is €375 minus your weekly contribution of €30 pw leaves you with rent supplement of €255 pm .
