That is very true. I met Ms Ní Mhurchú the day after the meeting and I also met Derek and Geraldine Keogh in a very rural part of Meath which borders Westmeath. The Meath Chroniclecovered them the following week in terms of their experience, along with meeting myself at the ITIC meeting. They spoke about the fact that even though they are literally a stone's throw from the village of Clonmellon, which is by no means a major urban centre, they are officially in Meath and because the whole county has been designated a rent pressure zone, they fall into this.

In terms of the statements made that day at the committee hearing, the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage basically said "Don't worry, it will be all right on the night. Trust us.".What is Mr O'Mara Walsh's view on that?
