I appreciate the difficulty with tenants' representatives. The one AHB that has a good track record in this is Co-operative Housing Ireland, formerly the National Association of Building Co-operatives, NABCo, because it is part of the culture. It might be worth engaging with Co-operative Housing Ireland in the process if we are to replicate a similar process. I am not saying that the Minister takes someone from the tenant cohort of Co-operative Housing Ireland but it has a mechanism and a long history of active tenant participation at senior board level. That might be worth exploring.
