MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, January 20, 2021

QUESTION NO. 4

QUESTION: Councillor Eoin Ó Broin

"Numbers 1, 2, 3, 8, 13, 15 and 16 Saint Brigid´s Cottages in Clondalkin are vacant and have been for some time. The response to Members Rep 1584683 states that SDCC does not consider these sites a priority for inclusion on the Vacant Sites Register. Thus, to ask the Chief Executive, what recourse there is to having the houses reoccupied or the sites developed?"

REPLY:

The sites indicated are in private ownership and are therefore subject to normal market conditions. At this time the local authority has no recourse to reoccupation or development of the sites concerned. It is noted that a number of St. Brigid’s Cottages, including some of those indicated, have had property transactions in the last number of years recorded on the Property Price Register.
