I propose to take Questions Nos. 229 to 236, inclusive, together.

Local Authorities are required to submit an annual return to my Department providing information on the operation of the Derelict Sites Act 1990 (the Act) in their functional areas. The derelict sites returns are collected in Q2 of the following year. The information requested in respect of 2019, 2020 and 2021 is provided in the attached Table. Figures for 2022 are not yet available.

I have made no directions under sections 12 and 13 of the Act in the period since taking office. Nor did my predecessor in the period from the beginning of 2019 to the date of his leaving office.

My Department does not collect data on the number of prosecutions initiated by each local authority under the powers provided in the Act nor does my Department collect data on the subsequent use of sites acquired under the Derelict Sites legislation. The relevant local authority should be contacted for this information.
