I thank Mr. Ó Donnabháin. I have another few questions. How many staff work full-time in the derelict sites unit in Cork City Council? To how many properties does the €4.1 million that is outstanding in the derelict sites levy relate? To be fair, I must give credit to the council. In the past three years, there has been a huge improvement in derelict sites levies collected. I believe it went from 7% to above 30%. I want to get it higher. What are we going to do to get it higher? If the witnesses do not have that information, they can come back to us with it.
