Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 14 June 2018
252. Deputy Joan Burton asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the number of landowners issued notices under the Derelict Sites Act 1990 by local authority; the number of landowners subject to a derelict sites levy by local authority in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26075/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe specific information sought regarding the number of landowners subject to the derelict sites levy by local authority is not readily available in my Department.
However, my Department collects details, on an annual basis in respect of the previous calendar year, which includes information regarding the number of notifications issued to owners of derelict sites, and the number of derelict sites levied in each local authority area. This information is available on the basis of each city and county council for the period 2013-2015; the details for 2016 are being compiled. Under section 8(5) of the Derelict Sites Act, a copy of the derelict sites register for any local authority can be inspected at the offices of that authority during office hours.
The position from 2013 to end of 2015 in respect of both 1) the number of notifications issued to owners, and 2) the number of derelict sites levied, as notified to my Department, is set out in the following table:
