Ms Orla Murphy:

We must not forget that vacancy applies to all buildings and not just vacant homes. A recent study by Rún, in collaboration with UCD and architects in private practice, measured vacant and derelict space in institutional buildings. It estimated there are over 115,000 sq. m of derelict vacant space in institutions. There are lots of different types of vacancy and dereliction. Dr. Crowe could speak more to that.
