Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Urban Regeneration: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Maria Graham:
The questions we have asked local authorities are around all the pieces, including legislative change and the difficulties or barriers to usage they may find. We are looking at that. As I said, we are looking at the town centre first initiative, which will put a focus on revitalising towns. The issue of dereliction will be a major part of that. We are seeing the resourcing of local authorities' planning functions.
