Mr. Dara McGowan:

There are two elements to Croí Conaithe, the serviced site and the refurbishment grant. Both of them were set in town centres with a population of 400 or more. The serviced site is still in that category and the refurbishment grant is still in that category, but there are a lot of vacant, derelict rural houses and they have extended out the refurbishment grant. It is only for a principal primary residence so it is not a house to be developed and left there, and the house has to be lived in afterwards. It is an opportunity to bring a lot of those houses back online which do not come under the other schemes because they are not in areas of social housing need.
