There are derelict sites everywhere and while we have a levy, an awful lot of money is not being collected across the levies. If we were stronger nationally on doing that, we would see fewer derelict sites and would see them being brought back into use. I believe that in the region of €20 million is uncollected nationally. Is there any reason that is the case?
