Mr. John McCarthy:
It can be a bit difficult to deal with in individual cases, but the ownership of these sites rests with the local authorities. The obligations associated with the sites rests with them also so there is an incentive to the local authorities to look at the sites as part of the land audit now taking place and establish if there are uses that can be made of those from which they can recoup their investment.
