What are the consequences? If NOAC audits the 31 local authorities and some are best in class, some are in the middle and others are at the bottom, what are the implications? From what Mr. McCarthy has told me, a person living in Cork may not be getting the same housing maintenance as a person living in Tipperary or Dublin. I believe all social housing tenants should be treated equally and should be at the same standard. Mr. McCarthy is stating that the 31 local authorities are operating at 31 different levels. To me, there should be one level and that should be the bar every local authority should be able to meet.
