I have a brief question on staffing levels within the Residential Tenancies Board. They have been reduced in the past five years despite the fact that the workload, I am sure, has increased very much, particularly in the past two years. Could Ms Carroll comment on what would be the position if, for example, the committee recommended improvements in staffing and resources to deal with the existing backlog and the time it is taking to adjudicate and make recommendations on cases?
