To clarify the point - maybe the Minister of State will communicate with the local authority in this regard - compared to the difficulties involved in transferring them, there is very little difficulty that I can see in leaving them with the county council. There is a contractual obligation with the council but there is no obligation in terms of housing maintenance, tenancy or anything like that. If the Minister of State will take that into account in advance of Report Stage, I might withdraw the amendment. I ask that he communicate with the city council.
