Cllr Fergal Browne raised the issue at a recent meeting of Carlow Municipal District and he told the Council that he had been "asking the questions for the last five years and got no answers". 

"Have the Council identified sites for CPO? How accurate is our list of vacant houses?"

Cllr Browne said: "It's ridiculous going around seeing these empty properties."

He previously told the Council that they could "double" the amount of vacant houses they have identified in Carlow Town.
