I have four specific questions for the Department. I thank the witnesses for the presentations.

My first question is addressed to Ms Caroline Timmons. Does the Department know what percentage of the social housing construction pipeline currently in train is designed specifically for people with disabilities? Does the Department know what percentage of allocations of social housing in 2018 went to people with disabilities of the four categories that are recorded? Does the Department know what percentage of applicants on the current social housing waiting list have a member of the household who is a wheelchair user and therefore needs a wheelchair-accessible house? Do we know the average waiting times, either State-wide or by local authority, for the length of time it takes for an adaptation grant to be processed and, once somebody is approved, for the length of time before the grant is provided and the adaptations are done?

I will come back in after I get the answers to my questions
