Most of Ireland's local authorities did not collect any money from the owners of derelict sites last year despite the housing crisis

MOST OF IRELAND’S local authorities did not collect any money from the owners of derelict sites last year despite the growing housing crisis, while many authorities didn’t even impose the levy on a single site in their jurisdiction.

Galway City, Tipperary and Wicklow levied between €8,000 and €37,000 respectively last year but received nothing, while Meath didn’t collect any of the €216,000 it levied from 22 sites. “It’s clear that there is little to no enforcement for noncompliance. This is allowing property speculators to sit on empty buildings and let them fall apart,” he said.

“It is the intention of Clare County Council to commence billing of the Derelict Sites Levy in cases where there are no other measures being taken by the property owners.”
