I will bring this discussion back to a household level. The ESB Networks gave information to the Central Statistics Office saying that 10% of residential homes use less than 1,000 KW per hour, which is below the median of 3,658 KW per hour. The CSO has said that that is a good metric for looking at the number of vacant and holiday dwellings. Does Mr. Tarrant share the view of the CSO and think that this is a good way of identifying which households are most likely to be vacant or derelict if they fall below the 1,000 KW per hour usage?
