Dr. Conor Cashman:

The survey asked about people's experience and list of reasons why their security of tenure is not ideal. We did not ask people if a landlord gave a legally justified reason. This is people's experience. They do not feel they have a long security of tenure for 12 months or X number of years. That was one of the main points but, for clarity, the biggest concerns were similar to the rest of Ireland generally that a landlord was thinking of selling or getting out of the rental market.

There is definitely more work to be done, in particular looking at the CSO figures around vacancy and derelict properties as well as the level of occupancy. That is certainly something that could continue to be a live piece of research.

I came across property lists in the opening statement. There is a key issue about affordability and what that looks like on Ireland's offshore islands. The previous speaker mentioned as well that there must be a political willingness to address what an AHB should do if it has the needs of an island community in mind, in particular when people may not be on a social housing list but they cannot meet the market prices for property on the islands. I am conscious that I am talking an awful lot so I do not want to take up everyone's time.
