I am sorry; I looked at the wrong list of QPL speakers. I was further down when I went in and was looking at the previous week's schedule. The former Minister for Finance, Deputy Donohoe, took my slot last week for his last speaking slot.
I have just a couple of questions. The Residential Tenancies Board is an issue we are dealing with. We are dealing with the pre-legislative stage in relation to that. There is an extra €4 million there. Does the Minister believe there is sufficient funding for the board to operate at the level it needs to operate from a staff and IT point of view? There are six additional executive officer posts. Is the Minister confident that the staff complement will be sufficient to deal with what will be a significantly enhanced RTB workload?
