That revision is due shortly, I am told. In regard to inspections and inspection capacity, there is a new €10 million inspection fund that will be available to local authorities to make sure they have the staffing complement needed to undertake an appropriate level of inspections. In the past, the percentages of properties inspected have been in the low single digits. We want to get to a situation where about 25% of properties are inspected each year, which would be a dramatic increase. Obviously this involves more staff, more resources and more focus from local authorities. We are providing the funding to deliver on that.
