Vote 34 - Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government (Revised) (3 Mar 2015) Alan Kelly: It depends on the roll out of HAP and how successful it is. We are looking at variations in relation to it because of where it is being rolled out. We expect a substantial amount to be new contracts. It would be impossible to give you an exact percentage for the future.

Vote 34 - Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government (Revised) (3 Mar 2015) Alan Kelly: I know exactly what the Deputy is getting at, and he is right to get at it, but what we are presenting here is the amount of 8,400 units. As we roll this out to more local authorities and as we broaden the spectrum of local authorities, we expect to be able to take on more new applicants. The current percentage is 50/50. We expect that to grow substantially in the direction of new applicants.
