    The figure is higher than 11k in the city, I'll dig out a link tomorrow. I know we have the highest rate of private rented accommodation in the country at 29% of housing stock.

    Is it from the 2006 census(link above)?
    Owner Occupied with Mortgage 29.7%,
    Rented Furnished from Other 23.4%
    Owner Occupied with No Mortgage 22%
    Rented from Voluntary Bodies 8.4%
    Rented from Local Authority 8.1%
    Rented Unfurnished from Other 1.4%
    Buying from Local Authority 1.1%
    Occupied Free of Rent 1%

    Try galwaynews. It was an article when the levy was introduced. I think the figure was something like 15k based on census, planning commencement notices etc. Crazy figure, but when the council says there are 7000 EMPTIES in the county alone? It beggars belief
