Ms Margaret McCormick:

An investor can invest in any asset class in anything at any given time. We want to stop the exodus from the private rental sector. Twenty or 30 years ago, there was a lot less legislation around it, and it was much easier to manage and much easier to deal with. Legislation is always required and we need equality to a certain degree, but it has got to the stage that the legislation is so prescriptive and so difficult that they need to go back to the drawing board and re-examine this.
