We look forward to discussing that Private Members’ Bill here at a future date. We have 20 minutes left. I want to ask a question before going to Deputies Gould and Ó Broin, and perhaps Senator Cummins wishes to come back in.

I want to refer to the research that is being done by the Residential Tenancies Board at the moment.

From the opening statement I know the RTB provides policy advice to the Minister based on evidence. Has the RTB a research budget? Is there a research budget that enables it to go out and procure research based on things it wants to do?
