When we are in a housing crisis or emergency, and the Minister has said he is treating it as an emergency, it is not acceptable that properties are lying vacant for that period. Can I get those figures? If Mr. Kelly is still looking for them I have a final question on the 2023 accounts. Under "other services" there was an underspend of €15 million and that was explained as being due to the Cork events centre project, which is a project close to my heart. How much is budgeted for the Cork events centre for this year?
