I welcome what the Minister of State said and that enforcement action will be taken. I encourage him to ensure such action will be immediate and that, as was the case in the past, letters, notices, etc., will not be ignored. Perhaps a time limit should be put in place because, as I understand it, neither the developer nor the applicant is claiming ownership of the wall or the land adjacent to it.The applicant says he has a significant interest in the wall. It is not admitting ownership. The only solution is to knock it. We will find out then who built it unauthorised and he can be brought to court to ensure the local authority is reimbursed for the cost of demolition and removal. I thank the Minister of State sincerely.
