Ms AnnMarie Farrelly:

I take all the members points on board about the fast efficient process. I will bring that back to the CCMA and try and have some certainty around reply dates and so on. Members can take it that this will go back to my colleagues in the CCMA and we will work on it. Responding appropriately to both the tenant and landlord is absolutely essential.

On the HAP tenancies, 74 are in Dublin. I understand that 20,000 new tenancies have been registered with the RTB so far this year. There is a rental market and it is important that we understand it is in place. In addition, there is good construction happening in Dublin at the moment. There are 21,000 units being built, and I expect many of those will come into the rental sector during the year. That may alleviate the problem and give back certainty to the tenants that face difficulty now.

I will ask Ms Hayes to respond on HAP and homeless HAP and give the full detail.
