Ms Clare McGrath:
There are two elements to that. The OPW has to do that in collaboration with the occupiers, and I am saying I get that easier with PeoplePoint as I have access to capacity data. I have to start by asking whether there is capacity. The property register, which is the register of all State property, is now showing where the property holder is saying "I have capacity in my building or a surplus property." I can now look to the register before I communicate. They have now told me they have space, so we are immediately communicating, and by putting it up as available, they are showing a willingness to have it used.
