Mr. Keith Rogers:

The answer is on the high street. If you walk down Grafton Street, you will see 13 empty units while you will see 31 on Henry Street. If you walk through the towns of Sligo, Tralee, Clonmel, Dundalk or any town, large or small, the answer is in the vacancy rate. Typically, there are some institutional landlords doing deals, although they are the most difficult ones.

There are also individuals who may not be in a position to give the deals businesses need. In that regard, we ask the Government for its support to give us a dig out.
