Ms Caroline Timmons:

It was an important activation measure. It is important that we give a signal to people that if they have a vacant property, we are very much looking for them to return it. The Department of Finance brought in the tax as requested and it is monitoring that tax to see how effective it is over time. We are certainly happy to keep working with that Department on that to ensure it is effective. That is the goal to bring them back in. We have measures to incentivise and to discourage vacancy. We must keep working on that.
