The net issue being raised is one I know very well. It is not about the people who are living in the house. The issue is being raised more generally on the type of oversight that happens with regard to property providers. We sent a letter in July last year stating we would write to the Department of children and integration. Have we had any reply from that Department on this issue? I remember raising it with the Secretary General when he came before the committee. I asked about the process. We were told that once people are tax compliant that is it. This is the nub of the issue. Is this all that is required?

Are there more checks done? I am talking about providers of accommodation for international protection or for people who are coming from Ukraine.
