We will not be talking about them at all very soon, because that is where the numbers are going. A lot of progress has been made and we exceeded our targets for last year as well. I wanted to separate voids from our builds target, which I did though there was some confusion on the part of Deputy Barry Cowen as to what had happened there. It was a move for increased transparency and clarity and not a moving or lowering of our targets. If we recalibrate our figures in Rebuilding Ireland following the progress that was made in 2017, voids will disappear and we will then be talking about casual vacancies and turnaround times.
