Mr. Dermot Mahon:

It is. We have had a number of county applicants who were above the county limit but made an application to the city, which has higher income eligibility levels. Some require HAP accommodation in the county and secure a property and have a willing landlord but they cannot enter into a HAP arrangement because they do not meet the eligibility criteria in the county so they drift to the city, where they seek to get on its waiting list with a county preference. Our HAP placefinder officer has secured a number of properties in the county based on the individual preferences of families and of 44 tenancies to date, eight are in the county. We have not sold any voids.
