This Government is working towards a sustainable construction sector, which would provide houses for all our people into the future. In response to Deputy Stanley, huge progress has been made in terms of the turnaround of voids in this country. He has already acknowledged that directly to the Minister, Deputy Kelly, and me in committee. Some 2,000 voids and boarded up houses have been turned around in the past year-----
