I thank the agency for a very informative presentation. My question concerns the 200,000 homes that lie vacant throughout the country. Has the Housing Agency taken into account, for example, the overhead accommodation above shops that is under-utilised or perhaps derelict and without proper lighting and heating? Were such areas included in the figure of 200,000? Does the Housing Agency see merit in putting forward a scheme for the rejuvenation of this overhead accommodation?
