Dublin City Council is owed almost €17 million in vacant site levies since its introduction four years ago.
The figure was released to Sinn Fein Councillor Daitihi Doolan who said the funds are "urgently" needed for community and sports facilities across the city. Over half of all local authorities in the country reportedly haven't collected a single euro in vacant site levies since their introduction in 2018.
Dublin Live previously reported on the €20 million the Council was owed in vacant and derelict site levies back in January of this year. Back then, €16 million was owed to the local authority in vacant site levies and €3.5 million was owed on derelict sites.
