Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government

Derelict Sites and Underused Spaces: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. Pat Doyle:

If any of the CCMA witnesses is from Carlow, we are on our way. That makes sense because Carlow, Kildare, Wicklow and Meath are commuter counties, with many of their residents working in Dublin.

It is a matter of resourcing of local authorities. They have good will and experience and are backing the voluntary housing associations.
