Mr. Seán Ó Foghlú:

We will endeavour to respond to the Deputy's queries to the greatest extent possible. The transfers of a number of these properties are on track to be completed within the next year. There are major issues to be resolved in a small number of cases. We cannot give a definitive commitment on dates in those cases. As I said to Deputy Connolly, the building in Galway is the only fully unoccupied building that the State will be using. Most of the buildings are already in use by the State, but not all of them are in full use. We will come back to the committee on that. I accept that there have been difficulties and challenges from the perspective of resources. Along with the local authorities and the HSE, we have invested specific resources in the transfer of these buildings. We have invested an additional resource into the advancement of these cases. That is why we have seen the progress we have seen since the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General worked on this matter.
