I thank Ms Carol O'Farrell for coming before the committee. She stated in her opening remarks that she believes she is a well regarded barrister. I want to confirm that I know she is. I wish her well in the office.

Ms O'Farrell mentioned there being a potential increase in derelict site appeals. What is the nature of the derelict site appeals that come before the Valuation Tribunal? Is there anything we as legislators could learn for the purpose of trying to solve the housing crisis? I know that is outside her remit but is there anything she sees within her work in the Valuation Tribunal that would give rise to comments that she considers might be useful to us?
