Sinn Féin brings new legislation aimed at tackling derelict sites 

There were 1,548 units on the derelict sites register in 2020, and €378,000 collected in derelict sites levies, something opposition TDs say is a fraction of the real figure. File picture: Sam Boal/ RollingNews.ie

Sinn Féin is to bring legislation to the Dáil to tackle derelict sites.

The party says although tackling derelict sites will not solve the housing crisis, it hopes the new bill will demand accountability from local authorities.
