Mr. Graham Doyle:
Once the AHBs has paid back the loans given by the State, they are then the beneficial owner of the property. They will then use them under their articles of association and under the charities regulation for social housing purposes. In cases where a maintenance payment is paid, it is often to some of those schemes that were for very vulnerable people in the past. The payment is quite low. It is around the maintenance of the property for social housing.
