Longford County Council has some properties that are derelict and have been brought to my attention. How many, if any, of those properties are on its derelict sites register? Has it done a comprehensive trawl of its own property assets be they sites, lands or derelict properties? As Mr. Brannigan knows, there is an obligation on the council as custodians of State assets and land assets to keep a register. There are no categories of subdivision. If they are derelict properties in the name and ownership of Longford County Council and under its stewardship, they should be on the list. Can Mr. Brannigan confirm how many properties are on the register and how many of them are in the ownership or under the control of the local authority?
