Mr. Aidan O'Driscoll:

Many of the properties that people think are vacant are not. They are subject to lease or to licence. People use them for some sort of public purpose or for storage and so on. There is a relatively small number of properties that are available. I believe there is only one property available at the moment that is suitable for lease which is not yet leased out. We are going to put it out for tender.
