Before Longford County Council responds, would the councils consider taking on additional staff to establish their own teams to tackle voids? I have spoken to other local authorities about having a designated team whose job would be to turn around voids. Waiting nine or 12 months to have a void made ready is a problem in the middle of a housing crisis when every day counts. I encourage local authorities to look at putting teams in place themselves.
