I am broadly supportive of what is being provided for, but I ask about the definition of approved housing bodies and whether voluntary housing associations will be included in that category? Some of them are dysfunctional. I can give the Minister of State an example of where tenants inappropriately ended up in court because the process had been mishandled. I am sure she is aware of some of them and I could give her others, but I would be surprised if they had not been brought to her attention. I presume voluntary housing associations are included as approved housing bodies. Is there anything in this section that will bring them into line or is it likely that if there is a deficiency in that regard, it can be corrected on Report Stage?
