I get a sense that Threshold and the alliance are not against each other at all. In some ways we are dealing with two different things because in the major urban centres, as Mr. Murtagh mentioned, it is not about cottages and holiday homes. It is about scammers trying to avoid obligations by making an easier profit rather than following regulations. My first question is for Threshold and then I will come to the Irish Host Community. Given that rent pressure zones were brought in approximately ten years ago, there was an article recently in one of the papers that mentioned that just 66 property owners had sought permission from Dublin City Council but 1,000 properties are being investigated. If this wider legislation comes in, what faith does Threshold have that it will actually be enforced?
