Can I intervene? The complaint we have from a Dublin city perspective is that the percentage of the overall properties in the area is reported. It is a small percentage relative to the number of properties. However, the number of properties that are vacant is quite large. For example, 1 % in Longford is a very different proposition from 1 % in Dublin city, as regards actual numbers. It is a low percentage vacancy rate but a high number of properties.
