I raised this with the Minister, Deputy O’Brien, last week as well. We all want to see those properties in villages, towns and cities being renovated and brought back into use, but the charges can be an impediment to that happening. Nobody wants that. Universally, there is nobody in any organisation who wants to see a vacant property on a main street. However, it can be an impediment. Uisce Éireann could feed into that. I know it would be depriving itself of some money, but it would be for the greater good and it is small money.
