Mr. Kieran Kehoe:

The way the local authority in Limerick has used the Derelict Sites Act and put properties on the derelict sites register means they can go through compulsory acquisition process. We are now changing our tack. We are transferring to using compulsory acquisition rather than CPO. As I stated, we issued CPOs for more than 54 properties. Only one of those orders was challenged, but that challenge was very costly. That is the risk it brings. Through working with Mr. Daly and his team, we and other local authorities will move moreso to the Derelict Sites Act to get properties onto the register so that we can compulsorily acquire them easily.
