Tá sé sin ceart go leor. To conclude, I thank Deputy Ó Broin for bringing forward this Private Members' Bill. The certification of private rental accommodation has obvious merits. Let us take this positive and progressive idea forward and consider the best way to implement it so that it benefits everyone involved in the rental market sector. However, it can and should only be introduced in a manner that does not have a detrimental effect on supply in the rental market. To do otherwise would not be sensible. I welcome the Deputy's comments about working with the Government to try to improve the inspection regime generally.
