Ms Orla Murphy:

I do not know why derelict properties would not be put on the derelict sites register. The registers need to be publicly available, including online, because for the past year and a half people have not been able to call into local authority offices in their county to check registers. I do not see any reason for them not being online. That does not preclude engaging with property owners at the same time. Properties can be recorded and put on the derelict sites register and engagement can happen simultaneously. I cannot understand why it does not happen.
