-----project that it did. This was a separate matter. There might have been 25 or 26 CPOs that it pursued. As a result of it issuing the letters regarding CPOs, two thirds of those properties were put back into the private rental market and one third were leased through the local authority for housing in a much quicker timeframe. It did not have to go through the lengthy process of seizing the property. We do not want this property, we just want it to be in use. I understand from my engagements that Dublin City Council has been doing a good job with CPOs but the number the Deputy is giving me suggests otherwise.
