Perhaps the Comptroller and Auditor General might look at the matter in the future. This is a unique opportunity. We are paying €16.8 million for a totally chronological database on houses while other Departments have no data whatsoever. I am totally astonished at the inaccuracy in the information held by the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government. I am amazed at it. Perhaps the clerk could do a report on whether any interdepartmental work is being carried out to ensure there is a proper database not just on the location of the house but on deceased residents to ensure the information is correct.
