I also wish to raise the issue about the collection of rents from local authority housing. Can we get a breakdown from each local authority on the arrears? I understand that it is about €80 million across the entire State. Can we get a breakdown on what is the annual rent collected by each local authority from housing and what are the arrears that have now accumulated? How do we intend to deal with that going forward?
