Mr. Pat Doyle:

Briefly, we are an approved housing body as well. We have not got financial approval yet, but we have taken out two loans this year through private sources to assist with our capital build. To give a very quick example, we have been working with Threshold and a family on getting the additional moneys required to sustain them in their accommodation. That worked for a period and then the landlord put up the rent again. Threshold did a great job in ensuring the family got the deposit back and the month's rent in advance, because they were being asked to leave on 1 May when they had paid the rent for May. However, we had to house a family with nine children from the Fingal area overnight because, even with the additional valuable supports from the Department of Social Protection, the landlord increased the rent again.
