I have a question about the completeness of the registry generally. I appreciate that it is difficult, which is why I am asking about the steps that can be taken to follow up and identify what is not there. I also have a question about the number of landlords leaving the market and the RTB's data on that. I might leave that with Mr. Byrne and come back to it. We have heard media reports about funds that have invested in rental properties keeping apartments empty for a long time - apparently to keep up rent prices. Is the RTB aware of that? Does the RTB think it is happening? Does the RTB think it is in a fund's economic interest to do that? What would be the scale of the vacancy rate? What are the RTB's data on that?
