Landowners owe councils €50 million as 90% of vacant site levies go unpaid. Intended to prevent land hoarding and accelerate housing development, only €138,335 of €9.6 million owed in 2022 was collected. Thirteen of 31 local authorities issued no demands, and of the 18 that did, only four collected any money. Dublin City Council imposed nearly €4.9 million in levies but collected nothing.
My graphic shows the number of vacant and derelict sites highlighted in red in Dublin City. The housing system in Ireland is in crisis, primarily due to ineffective governmental policies.
The prolonged dereliction of properties should be considered social vandalism, a crime against the state and the common good. An effective vacant and derelict tax, coupled with a compulsory sales order, could dissuade landlords from hoarding land, particularly sites that have been vacant and derelict for an extended period.
It's worth mentioning the latest Department of Housing figures, which show another record in the number of homeless people in Ireland. At the end of June, 14,303 people were homeless in this country. This included 2,093 families and 4,404 children, a 17% increase compared to the same time last year.
