I do not believe that in legislation, we should just assume that because the authority is going to prioritise, it necessarily resolves it. That is a matter of administration, resources and capacity. Perhaps it has been successful thus far. This relates to legal rights and entitlements and the capacity and ability of the authority to show some flexibility. I will return to it on Report Stage. I will withdraw the amendment.
