I certainly will not speculate in terms of potential litigation. I am sure that is factored into the decision-making process within the Department as to whether there is the potential. I will not stray into that field at the moment because that could potentially further delay any delivery of those badly needed units.
I want to touch on an IT-related issue which, unfortunately, we have seen become prevalent across a number of Departments in recent times. I want to touch on the Residential Tenancies Board and an issue that has been flagged by the Comptroller and Auditor General going back over a number of years. It concerns an opinion on the financial statements from 2023 by the Comptroller and Auditor General relating to an online tenancy registration system that the RTB had sought to use back in 2021, I believe. Is Mr. Doyle aware of that?
