QUESTION NO.4

QUESTION: Councillor S. Holland

To ask the Chief Executive whether the housing department engages with liquidator firms with a view to purchasing properties they are managing?

REPLY:

The Council, where contact has been made with the Local Authority directly or via the Approved Housing Body Sector/the Housing Agency, is charged with the task under Re-Building Ireland - Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness, with the acquisition of all such property types. Where such properties do come to our attention we work with the Housing Agency, NARPS or with an Approved Housing Body to get the property through purchase, lease or assist the AHB in its purchase.
