If I have the opportunity to do it, I will certainly do so. The tax only became chargeable from 1 November and only a number of weeks have elapsed since the budget was done. The opportunity is there. We will certainly do it but I imagine it will require some consultation and work with the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage. I and my Department will do that. I reiterate that the appropriate first target for a tax is how much revenue it will yield and that is contained in the budget day documentation. The work on what kind of measurement there should be for a reduction in vacancy will be done.
