Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Fearghal Reidy:
We have three full-time staff in the vacant homes and derelict sites levy section. That team is augmented then by the teams of planners and technicians. We also have a multidisciplinary team across property, law, finance, housing and planning policy, which regularly meets to go through the derelict sites. My understanding is that the derelict site levy applies to approximately 65 sites. That would move from time to time as sites come on and off the register.
