Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire Stáit. My next question relates to the number of idle buildings. I tabled a parliamentary question in that regard in February, and the reply indicated there were 70 such buildings. I previously tabled a parliamentary question on the matter in 2020 and the reply indicated there were 82 such properties at that stage, so I recognise the number has decreased. However, these buildings are idle but could be used for all sorts of different purposes, such as through community development associations. Does the Minister of State have a figure in respect of the current number of idle buildings?
