MOTION NO. 1

MOTION: Councillor G. O'Connell

Can the Chief Executive provide a report on the empty houses in Palmerstown and include what steps are open to the Council to possess them and outline what efforts have taken place to date.

REPORT:

The motion refers to two specific addresses in the Palmerstown area. Efforts by South Dublin County Council to deal with the condition of both properties under the provisions of the Derelict Sites Act have, and continue to be protracted. A review of all active derelict site cases is currently underway to determine the most appropriate course of action under the Derelict Sites Act 1990, or any other available avenues, to abate dereliction and bring properties back into use. Both of the properties that are the subject of this motion will be included in this review.
