That was especially helpful. I will take the next slot because it is a Green Party slot. Mr. McCarthy acknowledged the difficulties of trying to work through Covid. I take this opportunity to acknowledge the local authorities for stepping up, including management and councillors, during what was a difficult, disruptive and scary period for many people. Just as that was coming to an end, the Ukrainian situation happened and a new housing need arose.

It has been a difficult time for our local authorities and we should acknowledge the massive amount of work done across the local authority network. I have a number of quick questions for Mr. McCarthy on that. I refer to the Moorhead report. Does NOAC have any role in monitoring how the recommendations in the Moorhead report have impacted on local government? Will an audit be carried out on that or will an interim report be produced on it?
