Michael Finneran (Roscommon-South Leitrim, Fianna Fail)

I thank the Deputy for resubmitting this amendment about which we had some discussion on Committee Stage. As I indicated then I do not believe that we need to go down the road of placing a statutory requirement on housing authorities to communicate with their tenants or customers in writing and electronically. These are matters about which an authority is more than capable of deciding for itself according to the local circumstances and individual cases. I do not propose to accept the amendment.
