Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Urban Regeneration: Discussion

Mr. Paul Clegg:

The Senator is picking one particular site that we had difficulty with. She also mentioned the Plough Pub. That site was one that was agreed to be disposed of by the city council. We will actively look at the conditions of any agreement to ensure that developers do not breach those agreements. In the main, after we make a disposal, the developers do not do so. The Senator mentioned the Iveagh Market. As she is aware, that site is currently subject to a mediation process between three parties. I cannot really comment on the case. A CPO is in place for Main Street in Chapelizod. We are acquiring a number of derelict properties there. Was the Senator asking about an overall regeneration plan for Chapelizod? Is that her question?
