It would be helpful if the Minister could provide us with information on somebody with a household charge of €500 or whatever - it was not €500 but €200 at the time - and the penalties that would apply in such a case, and somebody with a charge of €200 for vacancy and how the penalties will apply there.

May I ask the Minister about the reach in respect of individuals outside of the State? We had a discussion earlier about non-resident landlords, which have over 40,000 properties for rent in the State. It is good they are in the rental market, are active and so on in that there are tenancies there and they are not vacant homes. What is the reach of this measure in respect of people who have vacant properties but who reside outside the State?
