Ms Marguerite Ryan:

When a person takes a HAP tenancy, he or she comes off the waiting list. If he or she wants to go into what is called "long-term social housing" owned by a local authority or an approved housing body, then the person can go on the transfer list, which is maintained at local authority level.
