Ms Marguerite Ryan:

Quickly, as I know the Deputy's time is short, at the outset of Rebuilding Ireland, we knew more than 92,000 people were waiting on the social housing waiting lists and we had to deal with them in a blend of ways. Five thousand were determined to be the appropriate number of additional stock through build, acquisition and leasing and the remaining 87,000 through HAP and RAS. Over the past number of years, there have been a high number of HAP set-ups. The Deputy is correct in that regard. However, it is worth noting that almost 6,000 people up to the end of quarter 2 this year had exited from HAP into a long-term social home.
