As we said at the start, and in agreement with Deputy Buckley, I encourage all councils to do as much communicating with the local community as possible, as Kildare County Council seems to have done. As I have said, I lived in a council housing estate myself and I know that, when houses become vacant, there is a mad panic and everyone has a theory as to why they are vacant. Communicating with the residents of an estate takes away a lot of that fear.
