I respect that. The RTB is doing the work under the remit it has been given.

Not only in Cork, but nationally, some of the housing local authorities have is an absolute disgrace. Where can tenants of local authority houses who live in shocking conditions go? Where do they have the right to go if the local authority landlord is leaving them in these conditions? We are now saying that people in the private sector are better off. Do not get me wrong; we want the RTB to do its work, but it is like people in local authority housing are second class citizens. That is an argument we will have to have with the Minister and the Government.

We will return to the previous question if Ms Loughlin has the figures.
