The note the committee needs from Mr. O'Connor is to give us information as to how many houses the agency acquired and the length of time it took for the approved housing body to have tenants move in. I know that after the agency got paid, it would take the AHBs a week, or two, or three to get their tenants in. They were required to take the people off the local authority list anyway and they would have been doing the interviewing process of those people towards the end of the process. It looks now as if we are uncovering a new void system through the agency. The agency buys a house but it can take a year before the tenant gets the house.
