I wish to make a point on the vacant commercial premises. I cannot understand it. Does the Minister of State believe that property owners on main streets would have units vacant if they had money to do them up? Realistically, this is what we are talking about. We are talking sense now. I was making representations for the repair and lease scheme, but it has not taken up. I know it was kind of a good scheme in a sense, but the provision for ten years was too long and there were too many issues with it.
