Senator Paschal Mooney also raised a question about boarded up houses. I assure him it is part of the housing strategy. Many are already under reconstruction. It will be a priority under the housing strategy to put them back into use for those who need them.

Why will they not call in the county managers in the counties in which they are not doing the job?

County managers have been so informed and notified. The Internet can be used. One does not need to call them in; one can notify them by e-mail, which has been done. They have been asked for their plans and have been given funding. What more can be done in that regard? The houses are being reconstructed. That is the answer to the question.

They are still falling behind. There would not be a homeless issue if they were building houses.
