Mr. McCarthy might send us those details. I was going to raise that anyway but the press release from Mr. McCarthy's Department yesterday refers to the unfinished housing estates and further states: "This knowledge [the knowledge the Department has obtained on that] and expanded capabilities can also now be applied towards matters of Taking in Charge and Vacant Homes Action Plans ...". We had the Minister flagging yesterday the taking in charge scheme and Mr. McCarthy is telling me today that there is no money whatever for that. I get worried when the Minister refers to the taking in charge in a press release yesterday and Mr. McCarthy is saying we have no funding for that.
