I welcome the positive changes. I come from Galway and am fully aware of the controversy there and the housing crisis as well. The Department of Justice and Equality has been forced to bring in changes every step of the way. That is my opinion. Here is something very important, namely, the requirement in law to conduct a vulnerability assessment. The Office of the Ombudsman is the independent monitoring body for that. As I understand it, no vulnerability assessment has been carried out to date.
