I understand that. What is the average workload for the average case worker? It is not an easy question. I am trying to get a handle on how prepared the Residential Tenancies Board is to take on the additional responsibilities. Ms Carroll has mentioned it is difficult to quantify and an external workforce plan has been commissioned. Will that point to the additional powers the board has and what extra resources are required? I assume the board has had that discussion with Government. If not, we have a big problem. When the Residential Tenancies Board has additional powers, people will expect implementation. That is why I am asking those questions.
