I stated this earlier but I will do so again as the Minister is here. He stated last week that, as Minister, he would look at everything new. There is clearly a need for publicly built, publicly owned and privately rented accommodation on public lands. We should stop getting hung up on that issue. Deputy Boyd Barrett raised an alarming issue on the record of this meeting that there is a place that could potentially be an inferno and people are living there. I appeal to the Deputy to tell the officials about this and let them investigate the matter. It would be a tragedy if we had a similar incident to that which occurred in London. It is on the record and I would be concerned and disturbed if there is not an early inspection or intervention on such a matter.
