It is easy to say these positions have been sanctioned but the reality on the ground is different. It is frustrating for landlords, tenants and neighbours that when they engage they are looking at a two-year process, which is not acceptable. Is it possible to get a review of the figures that have been sanctioned and to find out what the current position is? Have these principal officer and staff level positions been filled? Can we get a report on where we are with regard to the number of disputes that have been logged and settled and the length of time it takes for them to go through the process? If it is going to take two to three years to settle a dispute, that is not acceptable. I would be grateful if those figures could be provided and if the report on that could be forwarded to me. I am also hopeful that when I come with the Bill I mentioned, which we have been working on with the Bills Office and drafters, it will be supported. I forgot to say hello to the students who have joined us. I will say goodbye to them and I hope they enjoy their day here.
