I am more interested in the review process at this stage. Does it start in June or will the review be completed in June? I have been given information that rent pressure zones can be excluded even though they have been included initially. If that is the case within a year many of the initial rent pressure zones will not qualify on the basis of one of the criteria because they will have achieved only a 4% increase as opposed to a 7% increase in quarters. In fact, we could be excluding all the initial rent pressure zones quite quickly because their maximum rent increase would be only 4% at that time. The other criteria might need to be tweaked to facilitate towns that are under severe pressure. What is that process and what role will we have in that process?

I probably lost a bit of interest given that Mr. Cussen never mentioned Wicklow.
