Mr. Gordon Daly:

The local authority collects other moneys, such as rates and development levies. In the case of Limerick, our approach has been that we have a debt management unit which has taken on the collection of the derelict sites levies. They are levied from within the team that deals with derelict sites but then the people who are seeking to collect that money are staff members who are experienced in the area of moneys owed to the local authorities. There can be different approaches in different local authorities and, equally, some councils may have properties on the derelict sites register but they may not be applying the derelict sites levy. There can be different reasons for that.
