I thank Deputy Ó Broin. As I am not overly familiar with this Tyrrelstown amendment, I have a couple of questions on it. The Deputies are obviously much more experienced in respect of this issue. At the point at which the notice to quit, the notice of termination, is served, the tenant then goes to the RTB with it but who works out that ten or more people are being evicted at the same time? How is that assessment done? These notices to quit come in as individual notices of termination. Is it up to the RTB to say these are all at the same address, within a short space of time, so the Tyrrelstown amendment kicks in? Is it then up to the RTB to adjudicate and to say these notices of termination are invalid because, in its opinion, the building concerned would be worth 20% less? Who is making the adjudication in respect of the Tyrrelstown amendment?
