In regard to the housing crisis, the programme for Government states, "To deter “land hoarding” by developers, we will monitor and benchmark the use by local authorities of the new “Vacant Site Levy” legislated for by the last Government, to take effect from 2018.". In an earlier response, the Tánaiste said the Government had undertaken a comprehensive audit of all State-owned land but how much of the land subject to the vacant site levy is owned by the State? How much will it cost the Office of Public Works, local authorities and NAMA to pay what is, in effect, their own levy?
