Mr. Stephen Mulvany:

Where they are derelict, and derelict for a long time, it is unlikely that we would be heating them. Generally, we only heat them if there is a value to maintain with regard to the fabric of the building. Some of the building fabric is no longer worth maintaining. It depends on each individual building, and as the CEO said, there are all sorts of different shapes and sizes. The notion that any of them are actually directly usable for accommodation is something that the relevant accommodation public bodies will have to decide. They all have the information as to what is available per county. They have specific lists of our properties and we are actively engaged with either bringing them back into use for ourselves, donating them to voluntary bodies where that makes sense for voluntary bodies doing things in our sphere, or to other bodies, including local authorities, where we will often swap or give away properties at nominal values.
