Here are the 13 vacant and derelict buildings that Ireland's councils asked to CPO in April
Last month, six councils tried to CPO just three properties across the country.
Under laws introduced in 1990, every local council keeps a Derelict Sites Register to encourage owners to bring vacant houses and land into use.
Councils can then attempt to force owners to sell them - but most go through the commission if an owner objects.
