I agree with a lot of what Deputy O'Sullivan said. I thought we would have a bit more detail on proposals. I would like to know about the length of time taken to resolve disputes. I do not expect the witnesses to have the information to hand, but I would like a further breakdown, even on a regional basis, on the number of disputes and the length of time taken to resolve them. My experience is that people do not report problems in the first instance or abandon cases halfway through the process because they are afraid their landlords will kick them out. I would like to hear the comments of the witnesses on that.
