Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Implementing Housing for All: Discussion
Mr. Frank Curran:
No. There is an issue around property rights and you have to do a lot of research. Some of these properties are too big and expensive. There are probate issues, there are people in hospital and there are legal issues etc. All of that has to be investigated. If something is viable the vacant homes officer can make contact with the owner and there are opportunities around buying, renewing, repairing and leasing etc. and that would be explored.
