Vol. 218 No. 7

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Derelict Sites.

7.

asked the Minister for Local Government on what basis it is decided that a site is derelict.

For the purpose of the Derelict Sites Act, 1961, which enables local authorities to take steps to secure the clearance or acquisition of derelict sites, the term "derelict site" as defined means:

(a) land on which either there are no buildings or all the buildings (other than temporary structures) are in a ruinous, dilapidated or dangerous condition and none of the buildings is being used as a dwelling, and which is or is likely to become injurious to health or to the amenities of the neighbourhood by reason of its objectionable or neglected condition or by reason of the deposit or collection thereon of debris, rubbish or insanitary material, and

(b) buildings (other than dwellings), their sites, means of access and any yards and gardens attached and walls, and their sites, which are in a ruinous, dilapidated or dangerous condition.

That includes the ESB site in Fitzwilliam Street?

That is a vacant site.
