QUESTION NO. 9

QUESTION: Councillor Derren Ó Brádaigh

To ask the manager the following; The old Farmers Site in St Mark's, Clondalkin has now been entered on the Derelict Site Register, with the Council indicating its intention now to proceed to acquire the site compulsorily. Can the manager clarify where responsibility now rests in the meantime, for securing and maintaining the site prior to any compulsory purchase order? If this falls to the council, can the site now be inspected, adequately cleaned up and secured as necessary.

REPLY:

Until the statutory process to compulsorily aquire the property under the Derelict Sites Act, 1990 is completed, responsibility for security and maintenance rests with the owner of the site.
