Ms Maria Graham:

As I mentioned, we are doing a review with local authorities and, in terms of any legislative proposals, we would be happy to make it more workable so local authorities do put things on the register. They are sometimes working through difficult problems with people. What we are trying to do is get behind some of the issues that have been raised in this committee, in the Dáil and elsewhere around the obvious levels of dereliction in areas and the fact those sites are not on the derelict sites register. There are some reasons for that - for example, it only covers urban areas - but we are trying to get behind that. When we have that exercise concluded, we will be happy to come back to the committee.
