Departmental Schemes
Dail Éireann — 2022-05-31
============================================================

David Stanton (FG), Cork East

I agree with the Minister and fully support her in what she is doing about vacant properties. The policy mentions the judicious use of compulsory purchase orders, CPOs. Is it possible to acquire property in that manner if the owner does not want to sell it and if it is lying more or less derelict and out of use? Is the Department actively pursuing that?
