Mr. Brendan Kenny:

It certainly has helped. We were able to get nearly 100 self-contained apartments very quickly after the first surge of Covid. These are still in use and this allowed us to take families with children out of hotels and put them into far more suitable accommodation. We would like to buy them or have a long-term lease. Currently we have a 12-month contract on the properties, which is the most we could get. We will expect to be able to extend that but we would certainly like to buy. All during 2019 and 2020 we were doing 200 homeless HAP tenancies every month but from October, November, December and even into January this has gone up to 300 every month. This would make a difference out there also. It has made a difference. While it has not resulted in us actually acquiring additional properties, it certainly has helped in respect of the short-term and the HAP tenancies.
