What could we, either as a committee or a Government, do about that situation even on an emergency and temporary basis? I refer, for example, to the Focus Ireland amendment to restrict vacant possession notices to quit for buy-to-let landlords who availed of those tax breaks or other policy measures that could be put in place to stop that flow. We are all conscious that the flow is too great. No action by or increased policing powers for the RTB, which I fully support, will tackle that flow, certainly not in the immediate term.
