Another issue I want to raise concerns a project in which I am not sure whether the OPW is involved. The Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, has procured 37 buildings for the provision of accommodation for asylum seekers and people from Ukraine. My understanding from the reply to a parliamentary question I put to him is that only one of those buildings has been repurposed. At least 20 of them were bought this time last year. It seems startling how slowly these buildings are being put into use.
