Derelict Sites

============================================================

Malcolm Noonan (GP), Carlow-Kilkenny

That is critically important. The register on vacancy and dereliction is down to the local authorities. It is important they continue to maintain that register and there is consistency across all 31 local authorities. The CPO programme is working quite well. I know from experience in the two local authorities in my constituency that both have been very proactive on the CPO programme. Again, we will encourage local authorities to continue to support that. In summary, local authorities need to be proactive and central government, including the Department, will respond as required. This matter does, however, require a proactive approach by local authorities.
