I know this matter will be debated in the Seanad on Tuesday. I will have lots of questions then so there is no point in repeating them here. I have a massive issue about trying to find out who owns a particular property. If we could work at getting this sorted more quickly, it would be good because one faces problems when one goes to one's local authority to find out about a vacant property or when one goes to a bank to find out whether the property is in NAMA. There are significant issues with trying to find out who owns a property. If the property is left derelict, it can lead to antisocial behaviour so it is very important to have quick turnaround. The biggest issue is actually getting information. If we could solve that, it would be a massive help.
