While I do not have the detail in front of me, I recollect that funding was made available in last year's budget, as it was in previous budgets, to deal with voids. I am sure the Deputy is familiar with that issue from her local authority. That funding has increased. I am most familiar with the housing work of Dublin City Council, which has put considerable effort into void conversion and I believe that work is going well. There is always a case to be made for trying to put more money into this area and I know that is a case that the Minister, Deputy Darragh O'Brien, is pressing at the moment.
