Mr. Brendan McDonagh:

We have offered them to the local authorities and the housing bodies to see if they are suitable for them. As of yesterday, the chairman and I met the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government and the Minister of State with responsibility for housing policy, Deputy Jan O'Sullivan and provided them with an update. We have offered up 4,351 properties and they have confirmed a demand for 1,900. We expect about 635 to be delivered by the end of the year, while another 1,300 are under active consideration. We are confident that 400 of these will be taken in January or February 2014. That will leave 800 to be deemed suitable.
