I know that the Deputy is not a fan of the HAP scheme and says it is not working, but some 300 tenancies are being created every week. There were 24,000 people under the scheme, of whom 23,000 found accommodation without the need for a place finder service. The Dublin regional homeless executive operates the place finder service for people on the housing list in the Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council area. I have not seen the correspondence the Deputy said he sent to me and know that he raised the issue of the phone number at the committee a couple of weeks ago. I raised it with officials who said it was the correct number. To be quite honest, I am not sure where the problem is.
