We will engage the Department on it. NOAC covers rates collection in its report. There seem to be varying levels of success across local authorities when it comes to collecting rates. Does a stricter target need to be set by the Government to say that local authorities must achieve 80% or 90% collection, for example? Similarly, does Mr. McCarthy have any opinion on why the collection rate for the derelict sites levy is so low? It is far below than 10%.
