Kieran O'Donnell (FG), Limerick City

The answer is "Yes, it does", and we will get the Deputy a written response. It is pretty straightforward. If the ground floor of a building is used for retail or as a shop and if the overhead has been vacant for more than two years, the overhead will qualify for Croí Cónaithe. It will not qualify for the higher grant of €50,000, given it will not qualify as derelict because the building is not unoccupied. We will follow up and get a written response, but I have discussed this at length with departmental officials and we will communicate it to the local authorities. We want units to be occupied, so the simple answer is "Yes".
