To follow on from that, the other model hoped for was that leasing arrangements with the private sector would work. However, in many areas of Dublin the landlords, even if they entered into agreements two years ago when they needed tenants, are now pulling out of those because they are not a good deal for them. A big pillar of the plan, therefore, has collapsed and I do not see how it can be resuscitated. Do we not need to revert to what works, namely, the representatives' organisations and local authority housing?
