Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed)

One of the important recommendations our committee made to the Minister was the idea of creating a single national platform to integrate, compile and effectively organise existing and future data on vacancy and dereliction. The challenge at the moment is that some local authorities have decent data sets and some do not. There is no consistency. When the Minister of State gives the update, it would be interesting to know what will be done with it.
Is it just going to be left to the local authorities or will there be some attempt to follow some of the recommendations of this report? I could table a parliamentary question but if a note could be shared with the committee at some stage, it would be useful.
