Not yet. I can give overall vacancy. I want to say that the Senator played a key role in that. I remember visiting Waterford with the Senator. We looked at a lot of vacant public houses, many of them very substantial buildings. For some reason, they were not included in the original commercial to residential planning exemptions. It has been done really successfully and Waterford led the way on it. I am looking to see if I have the most up-to-date figure in this regard. The Minister of State, Deputy Noonan, has it.
