Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 22 June 2022
59. Deputy Thomas Gould asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the derelict sites levies collected by each local authority in 2021; the amount levied; the number of sites on each register and the cumulative amount owed by local authority, in tabular form. [33138/22]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe table below contains the information requested regarding the operation of the derelict sites levy, as per the most recent returns from local authorities relating to the year 2020. Figures for 2021 are not yet available. My Department recently issued Circular Letter PL 05/2022 requesting the submission of returns on the operation of the Derelict Sites Act in 2021.
My Department continues to liaise with local authorities on the implementation of the Derelict Sites Act with a view to improving its effectiveness. In this regard, my Department initiated a review of the Act in November 2021 and has sought initial submissions from local authorities on potential improvements to the legislative provisions and the way they are applied. My Department is now in the process of establishing a focused working group to speedily progress this matter further and has been in contact with the Local Government Management Agency in relation to the nomination of relevant local authority officials to participate in this review.
