Vacant Sites
Dail Éireann — 2021-06-15
============================================================

Róisín Shortall (SD), Dublin North-West

I apologise for being late in arriving. We know there is a problem with land hoarding which contributes to the high cost of housing and the lack of adequate supply. The vacant site levy was designed to address this problem but we would all accept that it is simply not working. I am asking the Minister if he will consider redesigning the scheme to give Revenue responsibility for collecting the levy.
