I do not think we will get to a point where it is phased out. However, even within the space of Rebuilding Ireland, its relative contribution to meeting people's housing needs will start to change from next year. By 2021, it will no longer be the biggest component in meeting social housing need. On the transfer issue, it was provided for in legislation that people could go on the transfer list if they wished. To date, approximately 1,400 households have moved from HAP to mainstream social housing.
