If that happens within eight weeks and the board has its discussions with the Department, is it something that could come to the committee at the appropriate time? If it transpires that the board needs 20 or 30 extra staff or a particular amount of additional funding to be able to outsource certain elements, when the decision is made will it go back to the Minister? What is the process then? If we are being asked to pass the legislation, which we support, we do not want to pass it, give the Residential Tenancies Board extra powers and say the job is done. If it will not make any difference to the tenant or the landlord, what is the point?
