I thank the witnesses for participating in this meeting. Mr. Doyle and I know each other from our previous lives, mine with the Irish Road Haulage Association and his in the then Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport. I fundamentally disagree with his statement that HAP is providing homes. It does not provide homes. Only building houses does that. HAP gives the applicant the means to afford rent.

This brings me to my point, of which we notified the witnesses yesterday. It relates to a circular issued by the Minister. Is Mr. Doyle familiar with it?
