The introduction of new standards has already happened and was set out by Government. There is a commitment of funding for increased inspections. That has already commenced and now extra resources have been ring-fenced for 2018. A new system of compliance will be progressed as part of the change management plan for the RTB which the Minister, Deputy Murphy, announced in September, prior to the "Prime Time" programme. In addition, the Government strategy for the rental sector published in December of last year sets out a wide range of measures with which I ask Senator Murnane O'Connor to familiarise herself.
