Delighted to have played our part in this. Without @frank_oconnor and @judesherry this would not be happening and delinquent owners would still be calling the shots. This is real people power. @MrBoxofTricks @anntmcveigh @BobbyMc2014 @upstatetheatre

The #DerelictIreland campaign was began in Cork City by @judesherry and @frank_oconnor from @anoisagency six years ago where they saw solutions to the #HousingCrisis. Our project demonstrates that it will be successful if replicated elsewhere. tinyurl.com/2hbtcjh6

A roofless Georgian shell, slated for demolition in 2007 — refused. Now reinstated as homes. Proof that protected ≠ lost. 🏚️🏦 The Moy pub on Dorset Street was demolished around 2018–2019. Next door, No. 12 Dorset Street Upper is a protected structure traditionally linked with Richard Brinsley Sheridan’s birthplace. It stood roofless for decades after its top two floors were removed in the 1980s. A 2007 proposal to demolish Nos. 12–13 for apartments was refused on appeal. The site was later redeveloped (c. 2021) as “12–13 Dorset Street Upper”, reinstating No. 12 and building a matching No. 13 to provide 9 apartments, resolving the dereliction. Below is a webpage I built to highlight dereliction in Ireland, propose solutions, and showcase heritage buildings and structures at risk. 📍 Survey Research Details: derelictsites.com/2330-12-Do… #Dublin #Ireland #Heritage #HeritageAtRisk #BuiltHeritage

The Drogheda Vacancy and Dereliction Group came together last night to begin planning for the 2026 Festival of IDEAs, which will take place in Drogheda this September. Watch this space for updates as plans continue to take shape!💡

The excessive #RedTape is a problem that has been plaguing the Voluntary Sector for a long time now. This has been exacerbated by those in @GovIE failing to listening to voices within the #Community. tinyurl.com/39y2h6b2

Dereliction is a social crime We need compulsory sales (derelict) & compulsory rental (vacant) so everyone can have a home #DerelictIreland #RestPlayWork

That's a really lovely impression to leave for tourists who visit this prosperous and green island of ours. 🤔

'We felt we could change things' Because me & @judesherry had the advantage of seeing a world without longerm vacancy, decay & dereliction #DerelictIreland in @rtenews @RTE_PrimeTime rte.ie/news/investigations-u…

The country is literally full of these empty properties!

A river of dereliction and vacancy runs through it. In the midst of a housing crisis, a record 17,548 people are accessing state-funded emergency accommodation across Ireland, including 11,944 adults and 5,604 children. In my visualisation, the red blocks represent some of the derelict and vacant sites along the River Liffey quays in Dublin City. #HousingCrisis #DerelictIreland #VacantIreland #Dublin #Ireland

The same could be said for many buildings across the country, none more so than Donaghy's Mill in Drogheda. An incredible piece of architectural heritage in the @AnTaisce top ten at risk buildings. Currently in the hands of the No.1 delinquent owner in the area.

Another case of an absolute abdication of responsibility by everyone concerned. The country is littered with similar monuments to greed. We really need to do better. The ‘Taj Mahal of dereliction’: A ghost estate on the outskirts of Castlebar. irishtimes.com/ireland/housi…

How many similar properties around the country are owned by the same types? No class, no idea of the value of heritage, but €2 an hour for dumping your car really gets their juices flowing.

At long last @louthcoco have slapped a CPO on this property on Boyne Terrace. This is the second time around for this site so with luck we will see this beautiful period property restored and brought back into use. Shame on the owner for allowing it to get to this stage...AGAIN.

Before there was longterm decaying properties Now there are much needed homes Well done to all involved & good luck to the new occupants Have no doubt we can end #DerelictIreland with the right political & cultural will Everyone should have a home ❤️ Bandon Road, Cork City

The art of a housing crisis A 2021 piece by @cristinleach @thetimes reflecting on @judesherry & my infamous yearlong daily dose of dereliction, shining a bright light on Cork city, merging national #DerelictIreland movement & a Doug Fishbone ghost estates art piece in Crawford

Only in Ireland. 'Too derelict'! 😡

How can councils end #DerelictIreland? Enforce the Derelict Sites Register & follow the steps we outline in the image As it happens councils have been tasked with this responsibility since 1990; its been a major failure

Every single local authority could easily do this if they enforced the Derelict Sites legislation and bothered to collect the levies due. The revenue would more than justify the cost. This is not heresay. It is based on evidence. @RobCross247
