Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Vacant Housing Refurbishment Bill 2017: Discussion (Resumed)
9:30 am
Mr. Peter Hynes:
I will briefly address a couple of the points and the direct question that was asked. I do not have the numbers with me, but I confirm that Dublin City Council has an inspection rate of 80%, which is probably top of the class. The target is 15% and I understand that some counties are in the 20% to 40% range. Mayo meets its target of 15%. The numbers form part of the National Oversight and Audit Commission, NOAC, performance indicators. They are available, so I will be able to get them for the committee if that was the intent of the question. The point about there being less than a 100% inspection rate is taken.
