On 11 April last, Cork County Council wrote to the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage looking for extra resources to appoint people to work on vacancy and dereliction. I believe they seek about 18 extra people. Given that Cork County Council has the equivalent population size of Cavan, Roscommon, Sligo, Monaghan and Leitrim, will the Minister tell the House when his Department will finalise examining the resources needed to enable local authorities to carry out this important work?
