We have put more than €100 million into the voids programme. The NOAC report counted voids at a point in time. We have given figures in respect of the voids we have funded through the local authorities to get such properties back into use. Of course that includes properties that became vacant after NOAC did its work in 2014. There is no discrepancy between the figures. We follow the money to see how it gets voids back into use. The important thing is that the voids are not being left vacant. They are being brought back into social housing use. NOAC did its work at a point in time in 2014. Since then, more houses have become vacant. We have funded local authorities to get those houses back into use.
