Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Dereliction and Vacancy: Discussion
Ms Caroline Timmons:
I do not believe we have done an analysis in that way. We have the breakdowns for each of the local authorities and obviously we can see what is coming through in the four Dublin local authorities because that has been open for less time. The volume of applications can be seen there, which may not be as high as other local authorities. I believe there are 30 to 40 applications in each of the Dublin local authorities. That would be compared to very high numbers for some of the local authorities where there are high vacancy rates. There are more than 200 in Cork county where the scheme has been open all the time. We have not done that level of analysis but we can look at it in that way.
