Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Urban Regeneration: Discussion

Mr. Paul Clegg:

While the Derelict Sites Act does have some deficiency, it contains many positive provisions. It is something we use quite extensively. There are some changes we would like on interest payments. We have 76 sites on the register and we are looking at approximately 400 active sites from a dereliction point of view. The Act is positive from our point of view.
