Does that take into consideration the gazumping that is taking place in housing that is for sale in housing estates? Houses in the housing estate I live in were gazumped from the sale price that was registered.

I will move to a different subject. I raised AHBs and unencumbered finance periods with the regulator previously in this room and with the Secretary General, Mr. Graham Doyle. I was chasing this for a long time, as were others. I am in favour of the work AHBs are doing; it is good. However, the legislation was introduced 25 or 30 years ago and it does not appear that any protection was made for when those units come out of the encumbered finance period. In other words, AHBs are free to have their own reletting policies. In one case, a private company was brought in and it is now setting and collecting the rent and running the show. What has the Department done about that?
