I understand there is total confusion about this among people but perhaps I am wrong. Initially, officials were absolutely crystal clear with me in my previous life. They said it was absolutely right that they were off the waiting list. Since then, I have been told they were all included in the figures. Today, the Department is telling us "No". That is great. That is clear. Mr. John McCarthy is stating that a person on the HAP scheme for a year, two years or five years, which is the maximum security of tenure albeit some get less, is off the waiting list and is considered adequately housed by the Department and the Government under Government policy.
