Can Mr. Curran confirm if the council is currently purchasing or competing in the open market for properties? Someone suggested to me that Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council had recently purchased a house for in excess of €600,000 in the town. I do not know if that is correct and I am asking Mr. Curran. Is the council competing at that level, in around the €400,000 to €600,000 mark, against what are effectively other people in the market trying to purchase houses?
