SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE (2)

Monday, April 28, 2008

QUESTION NO.12

QUESTION: Councillor K. Warren

To ask the Manager what if any, action can be taken against the owner of *details supplied on the basis that this former residence is clearly in a derelict condition, and the condition lends itself to incursions on a regular basis from youths in the area who are involved in anti-social behaviour, congregating at this site, and making life very difficult for adjoining residents, if South Dublin County Council can enforce and demand from the owners concerned that the site and property be secured, and if he will make a statement on the matter.

REPLY:

The Council’s Engineer has been instructed to carry out an inspection on this property and issue a report stating whether he considers the site to be derelict, within the definition contained in the Derelict Sites Act, 1990.  If the site is found to be derelict, the owner will be issued with a Notice outlining the works which must be carried out in order to render the property non-derelict.
