Rob CrossLeaving properties derelict for decades should be a crime against the state. Owners of derelict and vacant properties must either use them or lose them. Implementing a dereliction tax, such as 100% of the property's price paid over five years with an upfront penalty, could significantly change the current status quo. It's worth mentioning that 14,009 people were accessing emergency homeless accommodation by the end of April. <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/DerelictIreland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DerelictIreland</a> <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/VacantIreland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VacantIreland</a> 📷Rathmines Road Lower, <a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/Dublin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Dublin</a>

Donncha Ó CaoimhThis long derelict building in Skibereen is an unfortunate eyesore that’s surrounded by a lively town, and shops and buildings decorated for the Christmas season. It stands opposite the entrance to the lovely Abbeystrewry Church and nearby Aldi.I went back in time through Google Street View, and it has been abandoned and derelict since at least 2009! What a waste.<a href="https://mastodon.ie/tags/DerelictIreland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DerelictIreland</a>
