Mr. Graham Doyle:
It is an average, and it is in the context of quick turnarounds. The Deputy is talking about something that has been boarded up for a period and that requires a different level of investment. Such a property would not be subject to that €11,000. I am surprised to hear that funding would be an issue when it comes to vacancy because we are keen to see vacant units filled. We are providing a great deal of funding under our vacancy programmes outside local authority housing, so we certainly want to be doing it in local authority housing.
