I thank the witnesses for attending and for giving the information the committee is looking for.

In relation to the refugee issue and the allocation and identification of properties, could much more be done by the Department in its engagement with local authorities so that there would be more co-operation? In my dealings with local authorities on this matter, it seems the view is it is not their problem and they will not make a huge effort on it.
