Ms Rosemary Steen:

Yes, under the legislation. One of the things we have been discussing is whether a potential amendment is needed to support us with regard to the inspection of a property. That is something we are currently considering as part of putting forward amendments to the legislation. The current legislation only permits us to inspect a property if there is an application in for registration or after an investigation has been commenced. It would be potentially important for the committee to consider this matter. I certainly feel it is important that where there is a very serious matter that needs to be investigated, we have the powers to inspect a property. One of the things we have been working to understand, in the work that Ms Morrissey has been doing with colleagues in Revenue, is how they use those powers and how that operates in practice. That is the next stage in terms of enforcement. We are very clear that it is important for the RTB to have powers to investigate in these very serious situations.
