@frank_oconnor By our calculations based on the @louthcoco register, levies on listed properties amount to €475k annually in Drogheda alone. A cumulative €1.25m for the last 3 years. Not the full county - Drogheda alone. Not to be sniffed at when you are a cash strapped council.

Where does the culture of non enforcement of dereliction laws & the 'poor owners' come from .... Look no further 👇 (note: you definitely won't find any sympathy for those without a home here)
Jude Sherry@judesherry

No surprise The man who told us he can't do anything about dereliction because owners come crying to him when properties are publicly registered & who said “Any normal person, like you or me, to be landed in this on top of your daily life, it’s a tall order.” Is same man who👇

At long last @louthcoco have slapped a CPO on this property on Boyne Terrace. This is the second time around for this site so with luck we will see this beautiful period property restored and brought back into use. Shame on the owner for allowing it to get to this stage...AGAIN.

How can councils end #DerelictIreland? Enforce the Derelict Sites Register & follow the steps we outline in the image As it happens councils have been tasked with this responsibility since 1990; its been a major failure

Every single local authority could easily do this if they enforced the Derelict Sites legislation and bothered to collect the levies due. The revenue would more than justify the cost. This is not heresay. It is based on evidence. @RobCross247

Local authority, @DubCityCouncil is on track to more than treble the number of staff working in its #DerelictIreland sites unit by the end of this year. They have added three additional staff in the last several weeks, with four more staff to be added. tinyurl.com/4vte6k5n

All down to careless ownership and lack of enforcement by the relevant local authorities. This is coming down the tracks in Drogheda @louthcoco. Vacant and derelict houses bought by Dublin City Council unused due to severe dilapidation irishtimes.com/ireland/housin…

Every derelict property began life as a vacant property. The focus needs to be laser sharp at the early stage to prevent dereliction. Otherwise this happens... Really disappointing’ – Dublin City Council pauses purchases of derelict properties in city independent.ie/regionals/dubl…

This is a very worthwhile cause to support. Ciaran Dunlevy has been at the forefront of graphic related activism for a few years now. He is a prominent voice in the promotion of the #derelictireland cause. gofund.me/67ebf0991

But modular homes "will abide by regulations" says housing minister @JamesBrowneTD So you wonder why the housing charity is concerned .. Would these concerns have anything to do with beds in sheds, such as this 2-bed shed currently renting for €1,400 per week in Cork City

Mick Caul@caulmick

Housing charity concerned at risk to tenants under modular home plan The Cabinet approved the exemption at its weekly meeting on Tuesday and decided modular buildings and extensions would also be included in the rent-a-room tax exemption, which allows the owner of the principal house to charge rent of up to €14,000 a year tax-free. #ShedsToRent #FFG #Renters irishtimes.com/ireland/housin…
