Ms AnnMarie Farrelly:

Regarding the tenant in situscheme, if the landlord is proposing to sell the property and we engage quickly and are going to be the ultimate purchaser, the time for conveyancing and all of that is probably going to be more efficient with a local authority than it would be if the property was sold on the open market. That is a large positive for the landlord who wants to sell their property. From the perspective of the tenants, I refer back to the point so as not to generate fear for those people. We treat it in a number of ways. We offer advice and support. There may be alternative lettings available, there may be social homes available and there may be tenant in situ available. Tenant in situis one part of the support we offer but it is not the only solution. I wish to make sure the families concerned understand that. The last resort would be homeless accommodation. We need to bring families through all of those steps before they need to concern themselves about ultimately becoming homeless. We need them to contact us so they understand what supports are available. I ask Mr. O'Reilly to come in regarding some of the other points.
