Special meeting on vacancy and dereliction heard low occupancy levels could have economic effects
Dublin City Council is examining the economic impact of hybrid working on office occupancy rates, which are currently low and could affect commercial rates. The council is also exploring opportunities to repurpose vacant properties for mixed-use or residential purposes. Councillors are urging the government to address the city's high vacancy rates and housing crisis, and calling for more stringent application of the Derelict Sites Act.
