I will ask another question, to give Ms Loughlin a chance to look into that one.

I believe the local authorities should come under the remit of the RTB. Housing maintenance is a particularly problematic issue in most local authorities I talk to Sinn Féin TDs and councillors about. The council is a landlord and should be accountable to its tenants. It cannot happen overnight, but has consideration been given to the staffing increases that would be required to include local authorities? Are current staffing levels adequate for the workload the RTB has now?
