I thank the witnesses. It is just that I know of one or two local authorities that had that policy. It is great to hear that all six that have come before the committee so far have a progressive way of dealing with the issue.

My next point relates to the derelict sites levy. Fingal County Council has only 17 properties on the derelict sites register and South Dublin County Council did not have a figure but in 2020 it had ten. Why are so few properties on the register and why are levies not being collected?
