Mr. Ivan Grimes:

I will answer Deputy McNamara's question on derelict sites in Waterford. It is not that we are reluctant to use the Act. It is more that we believe we can use alternative means to bring vacant and derelict property back into use. As I outlined in our opening statement, we have been relatively successful at that in Waterford in recent years. It would be very interesting to flesh out the Deputy's comment on compulsory sales orders. Whatever about challenges to compulsory purchase orders, I would expect significant legal challenges to compulsory sales orders. It is an interesting thought.
