Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Urban Regeneration: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Maria Graham:
We have been in contact with local authorities. We set the legislation and policy framework and it is a function of local authorities and it is they who decide to do the levying. We are monitoring it and following up with local authorities to see what issues are involved. There can be complications around the derelict sites levy, such as issues of probate and ownership. That is part of what we are having to look at.
