The provision for "any third party concerned" is the cover for what Deputy Fleming outlined. The regulator provided for in the amendment will be the primary regulator and will have MOUs with all the relevant bodies he mentioned. The amendment relates to the transfer of assets, which has happened only on occasion. We do not necessarily expect a review to happen but we consider it necessary to state what, after 12 months of establishment, would need to be done.

I agree with many of the points Deputy McGrath made in respect of the important role of volunteers in the housing body sector.
