There are a few more speakers, from Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael, to complete the rotation and I will then do lámha suas for anybody else who wants to contribute. I will put a party ranking on it and I will be fair. Senator Fitzpatrick had to go to the Seanad and has asked me to take her slot. I want to pick up where I left off before. I am trying to investigate what is happening in terms of taxation. The second issue, which Ms O'Reilly spoke about when she was replying to me, is the idea of the responsibilities of landlords and the changing nature of regulations and the impact of that on landlord motivation. I am not demonising anyone here; I am just trying to understand people's motivation. Can the witnesses quantify how many hours a month or year is involved, for example, in managing a single property?
