Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Urban Regeneration: Discussion

Mr. Richard Shakespeare:

In terms of the rates waiver, I do not have empirical data. The anecdotal data indicates that the property probably changes hands and gets developed. I can talk to our head of finance and see because that is the best way to ascertain information on whether they come into the rates net. I will get back to the Senator on the section 11 notices.

In terms of the potential yield from the city council's own sites, we have 17 sites at various stages that have a potential to yield north of 3,500. One might say that is O'Devaney Gardens and Oscar Traynor Road so that is the scale. Mr. Clegg has the number for section 11s.
