Ms Josephine Feehily:

We had to go into what are called code trees quite early for this project before we started issuing - building the register. Since then we have additional databases from utility companies. We were not in a position to make full use of them before March because we needed legislation to get them and we got them a bit late. We have new databases coming on from utility companies and we will be working with the new water board because it will be identifying properties. The Local Government Management Agency will send us a refresh file in July. That is at least three new data sources we have not yet tapped. If the post code project continues, it will be a Godsend because our real problem with this project has been rural housing where there is no precise address. After that, ultimately, no property can be transferred or disposed of without getting a clearance. We will get there.
