I might come back to that during the next round but I want to touch on the tenantin situscheme. From my experience in our clinic, it has had a transformative impact on people who are in the incredibly devastating position of receiving a notice of termination. Within a matter of weeks they have some comfort that the home they are in, that has been their home for many years, will be their permanent allocation. It is a transformative programme. It does not increase overall supply, which we know, but it increases the security that people have. I want to talk about the limits on that scheme. Also, I am still getting people who are registering as homeless who are not being told about the tenant in situscheme. This is the biggest tool we have to save them. It is a fundamental shift and saving for the State and it provides security. I do not know how somebody can go and register as homeless and not take in that the tenant in situscheme is an option for them. How does that happen?
