Vol. 222 No. 9

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Dublin Derelict Site.

19.

asked the Minister for Local Government if he is aware that a derelict site known as the Ranch, at Inchicore, Dublin, is being used as a dump for refuse, old car bodies, etc. and present a most undesirable appearance in this built-up area; and if he will urge upon Dublin Corporation the need for immediate action to clear and level this site without delay.

I am informed by Dublin Corporation that they propose to make a compulsory purchase order in respect of this site so that it can be redeveloped.

When will this compulsory purchase order be effective and when can action be expected to clear this unsightly dump?

Having failed to come to terms on a voluntary basis with the owner of this property, some time ago they decided to proceed with compulsory purchase. I have not any information as to what distance they have gone and how soon they expect to complete it.

"It may be for years or it may be forever."

I do not think so.

Do not let Deputy Dunne become a poet. There are enough poets over there.

I cannot help it.
