Council begins legal process on more than 20 houses in Emly
Council issues notices to 24 house owners in Glen Court
Tipperary County Council have confirmed that they are in the process of CPO’ing 24 properties in Emly in south Tipperary.
Cllr Mary Hanna Hourigan asked officials at a meeting of the Tipperary/Cahir/Cashel Municipal District for an update in relation to Glen Court in Emly, as well as an update on derelict houses in Cappawhite.
Members were told that the Notice of Intention to acquire derelict sites compulsorily under the Derelict Sites Act was served on July 9 by Tipperary County Council on 24 properties in the estate.
Any owner, lessee or occupier has until August 7 to make an objection to the proposed Compulsory Purchase Order.
No correspondence had been received in relation to those properties at the time of the meeting earlier in July, and if correspondence was received it would be acted on, members were told by planners.
Members were told that if there was no movement by the end of the year on the Cappawhite derelict houses, derelict sites levies would be issued there too.
There are a total of 58 properties on the derelict sites register in the Tipperary/Cahir/Cashel Municipal District, with another 37 in Clonmel, 18 in Nenagh,16 in Carrick-on-Suir, and 12 in Thurles.
Members were told that all property owners on the derelict sites register had been engaged with and levies have been issued for properties which were on the register on January 1, 2026.
