Mr. Coil?n O'Reilly:

It is important to remember that this is a relatively new scheme in most local authorities. Some 367 are now sale agreed or completed and another 634 are in the process. That gives an element of safety for those people. We are hearing today that there are suggestions around notice of termination as being the starting point and maybe there is a different process. There were suggestions around the length of time on the list from the Acting Chair around whether it could be more flexible. It is incumbent upon me and Ms Farrelly to take that back to the sector, engage with the Department and take those as inputs to examine how we can improve the process and make it more streamlined and efficient for the tenant, landlord, us and the Department. We are not saying it is set in stone and we will never change it. We are here today as much to listen as to explain and we will take those inputs away and come back on them. To be clear, that is what we are here to do - to take those as inputs and examine whether we can change the system to make it better for everybody.
