In 2020, I asked the Minister of State about the vacant buildings that the OPW held. As he said, there are 2,500 properties. At that time, just over 80 buildings were vacant. How many are vacant now?

If the Minister of State does not have the exact figures, that is fine. I do not expect him to have the parliamentary question from 2020 in front of him or to have all the answers. A few of those were of interest of me. Three were listed as sale agreed and 14 were being prepared or considered for disposal. I am looking for an update on that. Have they disposed of? We have seen other ones retained for strategic purposes.
