I am looking at a list of 60 empty houses. I am looking at Traveller-specific accommodation - three bedroom, two storey - and I can see four units, all empty. This has gone on for years. I will not put a year on it. I will let Mr. McCarthy do that.
I will turn now to the Housing Agency and the revolving acquisitions fund. I rushed Mr. O'Connor this morning and I apologise for that. I have gone back and looked at it. The Housing Agency acquisition fund was established with the objective of acquiring 1,600 units over the period to 2020 for social housing. How many units have been acquired to date under that fund?
