Moving on to the rental relief, we had a good bit of discussion about people leaving and the purpose of the relief for keeping properties in the market. When people leave, either when they retire or, unfortunately, when they pass away, what is the story there? Can the witnesses give an outline? Also, if the property is being sold on - for example, if somebody is leaving and they are using the tenant in situscheme in order that the property would be sold on to a local authority such as Cork County Council - will the witnesses outline that process as well? That could be further encouragement to keep those properties in the rental sector.
