I thank Mr Byrne. I realise I am out of time. Perhaps Mr. Byrne could return to this and provide the committee with some further detail on the work that the RTB is doing to look at the timelines, look at the availability and look at the effectiveness on the mediation, the adjudication and the tribunals. I appreciate it is only anecdotal but the feedback I get is that it is taking far too long and it is far too ineffective. I get that from both parties. I appreciate that these are people who are stressed and in very difficult situations but it would be really helpful for this committee to understand the work the RTB is doing to improve how that service is being delivered.
