Eoghan Murphy (Dublin Bay South, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Deputy for the question. On the broader point regarding vacant sites, since the vacant site levy came into force at least 40 sites have moved from vacancy to construction. Only two years ago, we more than doubled the size of that levy.

In regard to water treatment and developed sites, I am meeting officials today in regard to a couple of investment projects that are under way with Irish Water and some priorities that need to be reset to ensure there are no delays in development because of Irish Water connections or responsibilities not being met, either by that body or by the local authorities, following which I will update the House on the matter.
