Mary Hanafin (Dún Laoghaire, Fianna Fail)

The Department's website has won a number of awards for its quality and the fact that it is so user-friendly. To my knowledge, there is a checklist on it. The website www.losingyourjob.ie which, unfortunately, has had a huge number of hits is also very practical and tells people exactly what they need. I will check to make sure the type of information to which the Deputy refers is also available. I know capital was an issue. We are examining the issue with a view to giving guidelines to inspectors not just on commercial property, but on assessing people whose only income was rental income from houses which are now no longer rented out. We are actively looking at the issue.
