I thank Mr. Skehan. Perhaps he could expand on one figure. Reference was made to 200,000 homes lying vacant, a figure which is obviously divided between holiday homes and homes that may be in parts of the country for which there is little demand. Does Mr. Skehan have any idea of how many of those 200,000 houses would be in high demand areas and what it would take to bring them back into what could be called ordinary, everyday use?
