We did not get an opportunity to discuss it at the meeting but I spoke to the officials at the lunch break about this. I spoke to Mr. Graham Doyle and some of the other officials about the ones that are unencumbered. What happens when they are out of the finance period? Do they have to take local authority tenants? What rent can they charge? Can they dispose of them? Who owns them? There are big questions. I do not declare to have all the knowledge on this but there are several that interest me. There is supposed to be a working group in the Department looking at these. Deputy Burke referenced the funding being allocated and what will happen in 20 or 25 years' time. Will the State still have a lien on them?
