Mr. Frank Curran:

We have the vacant homes officer, which is very helpful, because they have identified 77 possible vacant properties through the various GeoDirectory data searches etc. A lot of the properties will be too big or too expensive, there will be probate issues or legal issues, the owner will be in hospital etc. The advantage of having the full-time officer is that they can sift through all that. They have identified eight properties that are of active interest and are being pursued at the moment, so it has been very helpful to have somebody working full-time on that.
