Mr. Kevin McCarthy:
We provide supports to persons with status to find accommodation. We have the Peter McVerry Trust and Depaul providing a service to work with them, assisting them in finding employment and accommodation. We also work with the local authorities on a distribution key and there is a distribution key agreed. These people would qualify for housing assistance payment, HAP, supports for rent, for homeless HAP services and so on.
