Ms Ann Marie O'Connor:

Each local authority has a dashboard and we have a national dashboard. The local authorities can see a map of where the vacancies are so they will see where they are concentrated. They are also being given the GeoDirectory data for their areas. They have all the address points and the vacancy points identified in the GeoDirectory. It is their database so they can now go into it and mark other properties as vacant or derelict. It is a live database they can add to by changing the status of properties. They will see it on a map. It will give them data at a high level, but they will also be able to zoom in on data in particular areas. That will provide them with what the committee is looking for. It will be possible to clearly see where the pockets are and the local authorities can address them. I will use Carlow as an example because the town regeneration officer there is using that data to devise the town centre plan. She can home in on the areas that need particular action. I think that will address some of those issues.
