Here are the 12 vacant and derelict buildings that Ireland's councils asked to CPO in March
- Last month, six councils tried to CPO just three properties across the country.
- Under laws introduced in 1990, every local council keeps a Derelict Sites Register to encourage owners to bring vacant houses and land into use.
- Councils can then attempt to force owners to sell them - but most go through the commission if an owner objects.
