Tipperary County Council is set to demolish 52 partially completed Celtic Tiger-era homes in a move a local TD has slammed as "fundamentally flawed, lacking transparency, accountability, and basic information". He criticised the description of the scheme as "remediation", saying that "no actual ‘site remediation works’ are proposed". In a statement, Tipperary County Council said its application "forms part of an agreed remediation approach". Tipperary County Council said that the development "lacks the essential services and infrastructure required for residential use, and does not align with the local area development plan for Cashel and its environs". Any proposals will be subject to the county development plan and the statutory planning process."
