Mr. Brendan McGrath:

I know we are nearly finished but I want to say as a practitioner that the Derelict Sites Act 1990 is a very clunky piece of legislation and it needs to be looked at. Where local authorities do section 10 housing, one would hope the upcoming legislation and changes there will impose timelines for those. Timelines are there for strategic housing developments, SHDs, but not for local authority-led developments; which is not just housing incidentally.
