The point I wanted to make before I was interrupted was, to what extent can people be given a credit rating on the basis of their rental record?

My last point relates to the mortgage-to-rent scheme which has already been referred to. Unfortunately, the scheme is all directed towards the voluntary housing agencies the activities of which I have referred to on many occasions. To what extent is Banking and Payments Federation Ireland prepared to refer such cases to the local authorities which would be able to enhance their housing stock as a result if they are in a position to purchase?
