Mr. Graham Doyle:
There are a variety of circumstances. A quick turnaround of a void, which is what we were talking about earlier, is something requiring a minimal spend of an average of €11,000. We have been very much encouraging local authorities to do that in line with Deputy Séamus McGrath's comments. We have a range of programmes people can access around vacancy and dereliction, but we will always want to talk to local authorities if they are anxious to bring some of those units back into use.
