MOTION NO. 14

MOTION: Councillor B. Bonner

Could the Manager present a report on the unoccupied houses in St Brigid's Cottages, Naas Rd, Clondalkin with particular regard to the inspections that were to be carried out under the derelict sites act.

REPORT:

Following report to the September meeting of this Committee, an inspection of  the unoccupied houses identified in St. Brigid's Cottages was carried out by the Council's Inspector.

The Inspector's findings in each case was that the unoccupied properties were deemed to be non-derelict pursuant to the provisions of the Derelict Sites Act l990.  However, the Inspector recommended that certain remedial works  be carried out by the owners of each of the unoccupied properties to prevent them from becoming derelict.  

The Council's Enforcement and Licencing Division,  Environmental Services Department is in course of writing to the owners of each of the properties asking them to undertake the remedial  works in line with the recommendation of the Council's Inspector.
