I understand the Minister of State with responsibility for housing, Deputy Jan O'Sullivan, is dealing with the official list of unfinished estates that can be remediated, in other words, taken in charge. This list is compiled and verified by local authorities before being submitted to the Department and published. People living in the estates on the list did not have to pay the household charge because they were living in a development that did not meet certain criteria. I understand the estates in question are being worked through. While I do not have a copy with me, there is an official list of estates on which the Department is working. I do not expect the Department's commitment to complete unfinished estates to change.
