Vacant Properties
Dail Éireann — 2024-06-20
============================================================

Carol Nolan (IND), Laois-Offaly

Does the Minister accept that there continues to be high levels of vacancy and dereliction in many local authority areas? In particular, I raise my area, County Offaly, where the local authority is grappling with derelict and vacant buildings. I acknowledge that €2 million in funding was provided under the urban regeneration and development fund, but I would like the Minister to look at whether additional funding could be provided. I understand that under the rural regeneration fund, €1 billion was provided between 2019 and 2027. I would like to see increased funding for County Offaly to tackle the problem of dereliction.
