The Deputy is always one to highlight the positives, which he has had every opportunity to do. In Cork city this year alone, with funding the Government has provided, 241 void units were brought back into use and have been allocated or occupied by social housing tenants. In Cork county this year alone, 186 units have been allocated. That is a significant figure. Even the Deputy would recognise that might be positive news.
