Joint Oireachtas Committee on Justice, Defence and Equality: Valuation Tribunal: Chairperson Designate (12 Jul 2017)

Jack Chambers: I wish Ms O'Farrell well in her new role. I was interested in Deputy O'Callaghan's question about the number of derelict site appeals. I know from Fingal County Council that there was no site on the derelict sites register. It is an under-utilised legislative option. Many of the Dublin local authorities do not utilise that option. Have there been many appeals outside Dublin or could Ms...

As we can see from the current constitutional context, the required period is indeed too long. It is unfair that we are putting so many families through this constitutional threshold.

This raises serious questions. It was not any type of clinical review. We now know...
