What has been done by the local authorities with the lands, for which we now have a very low valuation, that were bought originally for housing? I know the area very well. The site to which I referred in Dripsey, which now only has a valuation of €47,500, is suitable for development. Why are these areas not being prioritised, as regards getting local authorities to work with the Department to try to deal with the situation?
