-----because a HAP property is not proper social housing. There is no guarantee of tenure. People have no confidence in the HAP scheme but when there is nothing else there they have to use it. It would be a lot better for both the State and the people trapped in this housing emergency for us to spend that €500 million. Instead of giving it to landlords and making them rich, we should be spending that money and building houses. That is what I have been looking for, it is what Deputy Ó Broin has been looking for and it is the only way out of this.
