Mr. Tom Dunne:
I think that Davy has done some work on this recently. It looked at what would have been possible for a landlord to increase the rent by legally. I think that came out at about 16% or 17%, which is roughly the same increase in earnings in the economy, whereas rents, as measured by the rental index, have gone up by about 27%. There is a piece of research that needs to be done there and it would be very interesting.
