Work has started on the removal and permanent closure of one of Dublin’s largest and longest-operating illegal landfill sites, at a cost of up to €6 million. The dump, which is estimated to hold 40,000 tonnes of commercial and domestic waste, has been operating for decades at Darndale Park in north Dublin. Hazardous material including asbestos has been found in the dump, which is regularly subject to fires and is infested with rats.

A row of derelict Victorian cottages in Ranelagh, south Dublin, that partially collapsed last week have now been demolished. They were owned by the Construction Industry Federation (CIF). The roof of one property along the five-house terrace, which faced the canal close to Ranelagh Road, collapsed on May 12th, propelling the front wall out into the path and road. The houses were located at 2-6 Dunville Terrace.

Dublin City Council is taking legal action to evict squatters from a derelict Edwardian house it acquired by compulsory purchase orders almost a year ago. The redbrick two-storey house in Fairview was first entered on the Derelict Sites Register in 2016 but removed the following year after improvement work was undertaken, the council said. However, the condition of the property declined steadily as it remained vacant, with deterioration of the external walls, windows, door and chimney.

The Kimmage to Dublin city centre route is the last of 12 corridors to receive permission under the €4 billion scheme to transform the capital’s bus services. However, six routes remain the subject of judicial review proceedings. The BusConnects programme has two strands: a network redesign and the 12 bus corridors.

Vacancy, dereliction and demolition of existing buildings must be radically reduced if Ireland is to meet its climate targets, the Irish Green Building Council (IGBC) has said. Tackling dereliction must be made a Government priority and a target of a 50-75 per cent reduction in the vacancy and underuse of buildings should be achieved by 2040, according to the IGBC Building a Circular Ireland roadmap 2025-2040.
