They are with the Housing Agency. I am surprised that nobody from the sector has had an input. We will take it. We do not know what is in them. We need to see them and see if they are up to scratch. People like the MUD Act Reform Group, Clúid and the local authorities need to see them.

I have another question on the oversight and regulation role. There has to be some oversight and regulation role in the context of these huge settlements. Is there a role for local authorities? Sometimes things are handled locally. Typically, in a lot of counties, including where I live in County Laois, local authorities went in and bought four or five here, one or two there and ten there. Would local authorities be a good body to do the fire inspections? Would it mean additional staff? Would it be good for them to have a role as an oversight body in the context of implementation and oversight of regulations when we have them in place?
