Ms Josephine Feehily:

It is the number we have. We do not have a total because we do not have a register. We started the job without any guide except for a figure used by the Thornhill Group and the Local Government Management Agency of approximately 1.6 million properties. We know we have at least 1.72 million properties on the register and we know there are properties not on the register. We have approximately 100,000 work items concerning people who have telephoned saying they want a change of ownership, so there is much work to do before we know the total. I do not know the total to compare to the 1.68 million at this point, but whatever the number, compliance is well over 80%. The rest are marginal numbers.
