Micheál Carrigy (Longford-Westmeath, Fine Gael)

I am pleased we have the opportunity to continue our discussion with the following representatives from the Residential Tenancies Board: Owen Keegan, chairperson; Rosemary Steen, director; Louise Loughlin, deputy director; and Brian Gallwey, senior research and policy manager. Copies of the opening statements have been issued to members. I propose that we publish those statements and take them as read. Is that agreed? Agreed.

We will now move to questions from members. I am trying to judge times with people coming in and out and some members not turning up. That is why I am trying to keep the number of minutes down. I will let people back in later if I can. As usual, I will try to keep it tight.
