Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 28 February 2023
292. Deputy Cian O'Callaghan asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the number of derelict buildings have been purchased through compulsory purchase orders in each year since 2018, broken down by local authority, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [10005/23]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe information requested is not collected by my Department, as the approval or confirmation of proposals for the compulsory purchase of land or property by statutory authorities is a matter for An Bord Pleanála.
In this connection, arrangements have been put in place by each Agency under the remit of my Department, including An Bord Pleanála, to facilitate the provision of information by State Bodies directly to members of the Oireachtas. The contact email address for An Bord Pleanála in this regard is oireachtasqueries@pleanala.ie.
