Photograph: Sarah BurnsTwo neighbouring derelict houses in Tallaght have been put up for sale, with a further two due to come onto the market shortly, after being compulsorily acquired by South Dublin County Council. The council acquired the properties from the bank, and the acquisition has been the subject of ongoing legal action from the businessman. The council said it had carried out minor refurbishment works on the houses to comply with building regulations. The council said eligible purchasers may also be able to apply for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant, subject to criteria.
