Young people on social welfare will be soon be paying less rent.
It's after the Minister for Social Protection announced a cut to the amount young job seekers pay towards their rent supplement.
It amounts to a saving of up to €20 euro a week - and applies to anyone under 26 on the Jobseekers Allowance or Supplementary Welfare Allowance who's getting rent supplement.
Minister Leo Varadkar said the measure will help to ease the rental burden for young people on welfare.
