I gave the example to Ms Lyons on the previous day of one case where a private company is now dictating to the tenants that the rents are going up. By the way, since I last spoke to Mr. Doyle about it, more of the tenants have been forced to apply for social housing. It is social housing they are living in, built with taxpayers’ money on a site previously owned by the nuns or by the church. The problem is that they are now being told they must apply for RAS or HAP, and some of them have been sent to the local social welfare office to claim rent supplement. I have been dealing with this with an official in Mr. Doyle's Department, Mr. Roger Harrington. I ask Mr. Doyle to speak to him again today to raise this.
