Peadar Tóibín (AON), Meath West

The issue of dereliction is a blight upon many towns across the country at the moment. There are many cases where buildings are dangerous and are falling apart. There are other cases where those buildings are centres of antisocial behaviour, drug-taking and, potentially, fires as well. There are also cases where businesses are significantly devalued as a result of being next to vacant buildings destroying their towns.
How much money has been drawn down and spent by the Minister's Department in making sure that vacancy is transformed into use?
