Eoin Ó Broin: My last question is on who is doing the LDA's property management at the minute. Mr. Coleman said it is "externalised". That is a wonderful word, but who has the LDA contracted to do this work?

Eoin Ó Broin: I get that, but the LDA is using five of those companies now. Do they all do the same thing but on separate sites? I refer to making people aware that they can apply for the cost rental unit, helping them to move in and settle in, and doing all this type of estate management element.
