Mr. Tom Gilligan:

At the moment, we only have a number of houses, probably in single-digit figures, that would be vacated due to defective concrete blocks. We have undertaken a number of desktop surveys and we are looking at making a submission to the Department in regard to a number of houses throughout the county. We will be looking at works. We will also be looking at this in the context of doing a pilot and looking at a number of initiatives and schemes to bring those properties back into use. Some of the work will be on the outer leaf and some will be on relief work. If necessary, we will look to demolish those homes.

When we submitted our vacant stock in regard to the National Oversight and Audit Commission, NOAC, indicators, nine units of stock were identified as having pyrite. That would be included in the total figure of 91 from 2001.
