Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Dara McGowan:
We currently CPO properties under two different strands - one is housing and the other is derelict sites. While I will not say the derelict sites is straightforward, it is a lot more straightforward because it can be done under friendly CPO or unfriendly, and we get to a certain point where we can just lodge the money with the courts and get the title. A lot of the titles are being disputed. The derelict sites is a much simpler process but it only works on derelict sites.
