Thank you, Ceann Comhairle. I will turn to the area of vacancy, which is very important. I will come back to housing delivery as well. We are seeing significant measures being taken to bring vacant stock back into use both through our local authorities, AHBs and allowing individuals and families to be able to take vacant stock and get it back into use, turn it around and own those homes. That is the Croí Cónaithe vacancy and derelict grant. There is €70,000 for derelict properties and €50,000 for those which are vacant. There have been 4,500 applications and nearly 100 in Deputy O'Reilly's constituency. I am wondering whether each of the Deputies here actually tells their constituents when they come into their clinics that they oppose those grants.
