Following the pilot for the six towns, will a specific scheme be introduced to bring old buildings back into use? I agree it is cross-departmental, involving the Departments of Business, Enterprise and Innovation, Housing, Planning and Local Government, and Rural and Community Development. Will the Minister’s new Department lead that and introduce a specific scheme to bring those derelict and dilapidated buildings back into use? It needs a tailor-made scheme on the back of the pilot the Department has completed.
