We, as a committee, compiled a significant report on urban regeneration about a year ago with approximately 39 recommendations. We are interested in pursuing that further with the Department. If we issue another invite to the Department to come and discuss dereliction and vacancy, given that the three witnesses have given the committee ample time, I am conscious that I do not want to drag them away from the work again. It is something we wish to pursue so we will probably extend an invite to whoever is responsible to update us on that matter.

I heard about another scheme recently, which I knew nothing about. It was all new to me. It is called the ready to build scheme. Does it still exist? Are figures available for it? Will the witnesses talk a little about it and how it operates at the moment?
