The Deputy's question raises a number of issues which are quite complex and which appear to fall under the responsibility of a number of Departments. From an initial analysis, it appears these Departments include the following: Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation; Justice and Equality; and Environment, Community and Local Government. As a result, it is not possible to provide the definitive position on this matter within the available time for your question. However, I will ensure the matter will be investigated by my officials in conjunction with officials in the other Departments so that the required material can be provided to the Deputy in due course.
