The point I am trying to get at is that the Minister is targeting 6,000 homes out of 57,000 homes, according to the self-assessed survey the Department did. That is 6,000 homes out of the 160,000 lying vacant, according to the CSO. If there is no punitive penalty for not declaring, that is an issue. There is a question in respect of this legislation: is the 8% an appropriate penalty for not making this declaration?
