Okay, but there are no assurances. I will move on to the issue of voids in local authority housing. It is a crime to have any local authority houses vacant at any point. I would cite my own constituency of Wicklow where there are currently 145 local authority houses boarded up right across the county. What are the figures overall for the State for local authority voids or boarded-up houses and vacant council properties? Do the witnesses have those figures?
