Well, maybe some essential works, but not substantial works. In some cases, these have amounted to up to €60,000. These are homes people are living in at the moment. There is an opportunity cost there. If funding is being spent on refurbishment rather than purchase, it means homes that perhaps need to be purchased are not being purchased as a result.
