Will Mr. McCarthy provide a list of all...

Alan Kelly: The Department does not necessarily survey the buildings but it works in conjunction with local authorities and the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage. If Mr. McCarthy does not know the answer, he should ask them and then revert to the committee. The presence of asbestos is sometimes used as an excuse for not using a building.

Is the figure 110, 140 or 150? How many are there? As this is a sensitive matter, I have asked for information on the number of people coming in under both categories, broken down by local electoral area. That...

Alan Kelly: No. That is not what I want. I ask the officials to do specifically what I ask because otherwise we will end up doing the work.
