In the midst of a housing crisis this state also has a large cohort of derelict or unused buildings. 

Some enlightened thinking and political willpower could use this resource to hugely positive effect but despite this there is still a way to go, particularly at official level. 

Judge Sherry and Frank O’Connor who run their design consultancy Anois have tracked this problem for four years and are now attempting to point a way forward towards solutions. 

Jude and Frank are this week’s guests on the podcast.
