With regard to the activations and the flipping of sites, a vacant land tax will be coming in and I am sure it will help in that regard. I agree with the Senator wholeheartedly in terms of the resources, and the point was well made by Senator Cummins as well. I do not have the detail of the announcement from the Minister, Deputy O'Brien, as yet. As I said, this will be an ongoing process where we are looking to find where those resource deficits are and address them on a council-by-council basis.
