Brilliant. That is encouraging. Also encouraging is the information that has been provided on dereliction in Cork and the 22 sites in respect of which compulsory purchase orders, CPOs, were issued, with 619 already delivered and 200 more in the pipeline.

I would be interested to hear if they had any best practice that they could share with other local authorities that are struggling in this field or if they were in a position to link with Association of Irish Local Government, AILG, or Local Authorities Members Association, LAMA, to do a presentation on it. It would be good. What we do not want is reinvent the wheel for ever local authority. It is important we all learn from each other where things are working.
