The question I have again is how the three groups can work together to make more properties available for leasing. It seems to be going in the opposite way at the moment. Is there a way we can bridge gaps? Is there a way we can get landlords back in to rent properties to tenants? That seems to be the big issue. In fairness to Mr. Davitt, he said landlords were nearly pulling out rather than getting involved at the moment. We need to simplify it to see how we can get them back in. I would like Threshold's view on the same thing. We need to do more. What more can we do to try to encourage landlords?
