Mr. Gordon Daly:

I want to address the point of local authorities working together. There is a strong culture of collaboration and sharing of information right across all the services we provide. Our team has been established in Limerick City and County Council since 2017. In the last year or two, in cooperation and partnership with the Department and the Housing Agency, we have been working with other local authorities and sharing information. A good proportion of the time during the week for our team in Limerick is meeting with other local authorities and sharing information. That can be done now online, which is a more efficient use of time. I want to assure the committee that the knowledge within the sector is being shared as we do right across the board of the range of services and activities that the local authorities undertake.
