QUESTION: Councillor D. Looney

"To ask the Manager for an update on the legal action being pursued against the development of the McHugh's site in Greenhills, and to make a statement on the matter?"

REPLY:

This site was deemed to be derelict and was entered onto the Derelict Sites Register on 19th December, 2008.  A Section 22 Notice of Determination of Market Value was issued on 14th January, 2009 to the registered owner.  No appeal was made by the owner to the Valuation Tribunal.  A Section 23 Notice of Levy Demand was issued on the 3rd March, 2009 for a levy of €60,000.  The levy was not paid within the two months allowed for payment.  Legal proceedings were initiated to recover this outstanding debt.  A High Court Summons was served on the owner on 3rd February, 2010.  If the Defendant Company  does not file an appearance to the proceedings, then an application for Judgement in the Central Office of the High Court will be made.
