I do not have the numbers in front of me. I believe that the majority of HAP tenancies have lasted well beyond 12 months. The way that HAP is structured allows flexibility, which people prefer and they believe the provision meets their housing needs in the longer term. The provision does not prevent them being on the transfer list and then getting into a permanent social housing home in the future. We need to do more work around the provision. We need to do more work around the floating HAP stock. In Dublin, there is a placefinder to help people locate a place. People are allocated a place in other parts of the country where the HAP scheme operates. If we manage to provide floating HAP stock in Dublin then when people present we can put them directly into a home. There is something wrong with a system where someone is placed in emergency accommodation rather than a home. We need to address those factors and some of the recommendations in the report will help us to do so.
