Mr. Tom Dunne:

I thoroughly agree with the Deputy's statement about the size of the sector. The private rental sector is the default between people who cannot get into the social housing sector and cannot operate or get into the owner-occupied sector. It is the place where all the trouble emerges most of the time. The question of what size the private rental sector should be is a really fundamental one for housing policy. I share the view that it is fundamental to what we are doing.
