Richard Bruton (Dublin Bay North, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank Deputy Alan Dillon for putting in this question, which I am taking on his behalf. Everyone knows that the vacancy and dereliction of community buildings in our towns and villages are a blight not only on those towns, but they are a missed opportunity to deliver an asset that can be really valuable, not to mention the impact they can have on better climate policy. I urge the Minister to take this very seriously.
