The officials are aware of the cases in Fingal, Kildare and south Dublin and they have followed up. There are two different issues here. On the issue today, as the Deputy is probably aware, there is a Cabinet sub-committee and a humanitarian response. That is a whole-of-government approach. They have come back and made this request. The five years is important in getting people to come forward to make leases but they are still temporary. We will follow up with the local authorities. The Deputy’s point is well made but, ultimately, enforcement is the responsibility of the local authority.
