Vacancy and Dereliction: Discussion
2:00 am

No, that is perfect. My view is the vast majority of those buildings are lying vacant without any consequences. What is our best estimate of the number of properties on the derelict sites register nationwide? We know there is a levy but have we an estimate of how many properties there are nationwide? Each local authority manages it. I know a change was announced in the budget that it would become an issue for Revenue. Is anyone interested in giving an estimate?
