You will not get a contract with my Department for rental accommodation for IPAS if you have convictions for fraud or serious crimes. You will not get a contract with my Department unless you are tax compliant and you have a tax clearance certificate. You will not get a contract unless you are solvent, and you need to have complied with public service contracts. These are fairly fundamental requirements. In terms of Good People, Deputy McDonald, Deputy Guirke's party leader, raised this issue with me previously. It had a contract with my Department for accommodation for Ukrainian refugees. I terminated that contract this month.
