It is important to remember that if mediation fails in the Residential Tenancies Board process - obviously, it is a different process and I accept they are not completely analogous - it is at that point that information can be submitted. There is a way of improving the wording of section 44(4) that would permit additional information but would not require a fresh complaint. It may simply be that the complainant is offered the opportunity to proceed rather than have to start again. If the Minister of State is willing to give a commitment to look at it, I am happy to withdraw my amendment.
