Sinn Féin wants taskforce on 'void' housing units in Cork 

Sinn Féin said the vacant site levy was brought in to encourage landowners to utilise their empty land and build houses. 

A taskforce dedicated to making so-called void housing units liveable needs to be established by Cork's local authority, while levies on vacant properties need to be more than doubled.

That is according to Sinn Féin's newly unveiled housing strategy for vacant homes, which the party claims would "put an end to houses sitting empty for months, and years, on end".
