Ms Áine Stapleton:

In terms of the overall market intelligence we have regarding the income of tenants, there was a CSO report on HAP tenancies which confirmed our understanding that the overall income level of people who are in HAP tenancies is quite low and those are a cohort that are in need of support. We have not specifically considered engaging with Revenue.
