Local authorities, to be fair, would have an obligation as a landlord. Their best interest is served as a responsible landlord to ensure sustainable and good management, whether it is an estate or a block. On the timeline issue, from my experience with the tenant in situscheme with Dublin City Council, it has worked well on both sides. It has worked well for the tenant because they do not become homeless or have the uncertainty and disruption that causes, and for the landlord, they do not lose rental income, do not incur costs in having to market the property and they have the guaranteed sale. It works well, in my experience. Timelines are subjective. It depends on the property. I am out of time. I will come back later on this matter.
