Ms Mary Hurley:
I can give members some detail on that. With regard to payments to landlords, we have a very robust system in place in the HAP shared services centre in Limerick. Where tenants are beginning to get into trouble in terms of arrears, there is a system whereby a numbers of letters are triggered. The rate of collection of rent is 98%. Only 1% of cases would be of the kind referred to by the Chairman. To date, 575 tenancies ceased where a payment was not made.
