Ms Rosalind Carroll:

We have talked about how quickly we will be up and running. Deputy Ó Broin asked questions about this as well. There is quite a lot in the heads of the Bill and there are certain elements that could come in quickly and which we would like to come in quickly. One is the register of the exemptions from RPZs. I will go through the rent index details with the Deputy but for us, looking at those numbers is a bit like a grey fog in some ways. Until I know what impact those exemptions are having on the overall rent index, it is very difficult for us to say what is happening within the market. That is something we could implement very quickly. It would not need a significant change to our IT system and it means we would have the data there and would be easily able to segregate the data to see what is actually happening in the market. It would also give us a sense of how well it is being used as a provision within the existing legislation. It is something that could be done on the enactment of the legislation.

On the security of tenure changes, we would like a couple of weeks more to look at the education and awareness piece. We have a history of commencing legislation very quickly yet nobody can catch up with the changes. It is more to ensure that landlords know about them and that we give people a little bit of time so they know what is coming at them and for us to amend all of the literature and so on. We think that could come in fairly quickly. The big thing that needs more work for us is the sanctions piece. That is the one we need the lead-in time on. Hopefully, when I have the workforce plan completed we can give the committee a fairly good indication on it. I am hoping that covers that question.
