Mr. Tom Dunne:

We could have a debate about that. One could go down the road of influencing that through the tax or social welfare systems, better than dealing with it through legislation in the RTB. This is an open question. There is certainly nothing in the law that prevents anybody in this country from renting an accommodation to a person for his or her life or for 21 years. That is not prevented by the legislation. As to whether it would happen or not is a separate question. It does not happen in the marketplace. If one is going to take on a liability like that, one might as well take on a mortgage, if one can get one.
