Will the Tánaiste acknowledge that it is unacceptable that there are 200,000 vacant homes while we have a homelessness crisis? The figure is not 200 or 2,000. The Government was to have an audit completed and published and a vacant homes strategy published by the end of March. We are now approaching June. All the plans and talk are one thing but when will we see the strategy that was negotiated and accepted by this House actually implemented? What target does the Government have? How many of the 200,000 homes does it aim to bring back into family home usage and by when?
