Local Authorities are required to submit an annual return to my Department providing information on the operation of the Derelict Sites Act 1990 in their functional areas. The derelict sites returns are collected in Q2 of the following year. The requested information in respect of the years 2018-2020 is provided in the attached Table. Comprehensive derelict sites returns were not submitted by local authorities in previous years.

My Department continues to liaise with local authorities on the implementation of the Derelict Sites Act with a view to improving its effectiveness.
