The current position is we have no-one responsible for it. Call me old-fashioned. I made the point to the local authorities when they came in here that if I illegally park and I get a ticket then I must pay it. But what if I have a derelict building, as there are all over Cork city? There is a derelict building on North Main Street in the dead centre of the city that had to be secured because it was at risk of collapse. In half of Cork city there is unbelievable dereliction and Cork City Council is taking CPO action but it is taking decades. I might come back in again. I thank the Cathaoirleach.
