It is usually because they get an order to quit under the three grounds that a HAP tenancy can be terminated. Do we have any numbers for individuals or tenancies entering homeless services from HAP properties?

Vote 34 - Housing, Planning and Local Government (28 Feb 2019) Jonathan O'Brien: I put it to the Department and the representatives from the city and county managers that there is a major issue with the quality of HAP accommodation. Speaking from experience and the number of people coming into my constituency office who do not have basics such as heating or hot water or who are experiencing leaks and windows falling out, I know that there are major health and safety...

Vote 34 - Housing, Planning and Local Government (28 Feb 2019) Jonathan O'Brien: Mr. Murray mentioned there was a 42% reduction in the housing waiting list in his area. Is there a corresponding figure for the number of people on the housing transfer list?

Vote 34 - Housing, Planning and Local Government (28 Feb 2019) Jonathan O'Brien: Has there been an increase or decrease?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 34 - Housing, Planning and Local Government (28 Feb 2019) Jonathan O'Brien: Is it Mr. Murray's experience that people who come off the housing list are not being put back on a transfer list? For example, I would imagine the 42% reduction arises because people are getting HAP tenancies, although the witness might correct me if I am wrong. That would not happen in all cases but it would be a certain percentage.

Vote 34 - Housing, Planning and Local Government (28 Feb 2019) Jonathan O'Brien: With regard to social housing delivery output, the total new build numbers at the end of quarter 4 for 2018 was 4,251. There is a breakdown, with 841 units under Part V of the Planning and Development Act 2000 and 1,388 units from approved housing bodies. That leaves 2,022 new builds so can we get a further breakdown of that 2,022? How many were constructed from the ground up, how many...

Vote 34 - Housing, Planning and Local Government (28 Feb 2019) Jonathan O'Brien: When the witness states they were from the ground up, would they have been council properties that were knocked and rebuilt?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 34 - Housing, Planning and Local Government (28 Feb 2019) Jonathan O'Brien: The Knocknaheeny regeneration is my area. I am sure our guests are familiar with it. The project will give rise to no net increase in the number of houses because we have knocked everything and are rebuilding those units. These are classed as new builds but we are not getting any additional homes. These are the figures I am trying to get. Of the 2,022, how many are new properties that...

Vote 34 - Housing, Planning and Local Government (28 Feb 2019) Jonathan O'Brien: I am sorry if Mr. Murray takes it that way. It is not a criticism. I am very familiar with regeneration. I know exactly what it is about. It is about turning years of bad planning into better, sustainable communities. That does not help a person who is languishing on a list for ten years. These are the figures I am trying to get at. How many new or additional houses did the local...

Vote 34 - Housing, Planning and Local Government (28 Feb 2019) Jonathan O'Brien: That is fair enough. I have a final question, although I definitely want to come back in. Does the Department have those figures? The witness was about to give me the breakdown. I believe it was 200 regeneration.
