I apologise. I was in the Dáil and will have to return there shortly. I listened to the comments. I have a question for Threshold. I have a party colleague, Councillor Eolan Ryng, on Cork City Council. Some 92% of all HAP tenancies are failing inspections by Cork City Council. This is phenomenal. Anecdotally, we are seeing then that when these HAP inspections have been carried out and a landlord has been notified of the work that needs to be done, landlords are then putting the properties up for sale and are issuing notices to quit. Is that something Threshold is seeing nationally? What does Threshold think of those figures?
