How about speeding things up by chatting to CSO Ireland to get locations for 72,000 (yep!) vacant dwellings announced in September & apply use it or lose it
They should also chat with Revenue to understand why only 2300 properties paid the Vacant Homes Tax

It's great to see refurbishments underway at the former Tourism Office in Limerick City. Designed by local architects Murray O'Laoire Architects, the building won the RIAI Gold Medal in 1989–1991.👏🥇

There are dozens of "ghost estates" around Ireland that's just in need of refurbishment. Why can't anything be done to make them all habitable and let people move in?

A total of 75 so-called "ghost estates" still exist across Ireland more than 15 years after the Celtic Tiger economic and property crash.
