Mr. Paul Lemass:

On the protections which run to 12 April, we have had 348 notices to the end of November, so the figure is relatively up to date.

On the issue of how a tenant can make the declaration, email is provided for. The RTB provides a template which includes both the declaration and the request for further support from the RTB. A person does not have to fill in two separate pieces of paper; it will all be on one piece of paper. The person will have to sign to indicate that he or she wants both the declaration and the engagement with the Money Advice and Budgeting Service, but it will all be set out on the one piece of paper. That seems to have been working well thus far.
