I will clarify the matter with the council. I understood it had submitted an application. However, perhaps I am wrong. It is regrettable that these houses have remained unoccupied since 2009. We need to move a little quicker than that given the number of people in need of housing. These houses are large enough to accommodate four families. I acknowledge the volume of resources being made available in respect of RAS and the leasing schemes. However, that is a matter for another day.

As I said, I will endeavour to find out from the council if it has submitted an application and, if so, will communicate with the Minister of State at a later stage.
