I will do so. Deputy Murphy raised an issue in respect of adult education tutors. My understanding is that this would come under the remit of the education and training boards and it would take responsibility for it. The issue must ultimately be determined through the labour relations procedures and processes we have.

Deputy Bríd Smith raised the issue of tenants in Liberty Lane and the more general issue of landlords who are reckless. There is legislation dealing with those issues. Dublin City Council has moved to enforce the law. In situations like that, I do not want to prejudice the outcome of any case that may arise following the pursuance of this issue by the council. We should be in no doubt that accommodation of this kind should never have been offered in the first instance where there is a threat to tenants.

BS Does the Taoiseach agree the tenants should have the rent returned to them?

As I said, I am not going to prejudice the outcome of anything that may ensue here.
