I say this because we know from the figures that there is €12 million in outstanding derelict sites levy charges from last year. We also know for a fact that none of the local authorities are returning accurate figures for dereliction in their local authorities. Some local authorities are performing slightly better than others. This is legislation that goes back to 1990, and what we have now is legislation for derelict sites that is not being implemented by local authorities. What is the Department going to do to ensure that local authorities do what they are legally responsible to do?
