Amharc ar fhreagraI assume that by vacant properties the Deputy is referring to residential properties. Based on information provided by military authorities, there are seventy-eight (78) vacant residential type properties under the remit of my Department. I am advised that none of these properties can be occupied without considerable refurbishment and were built before the Building Regulations and associated standards arising from same came into effect.
