Some local authorities are very good at keeping up with registers and others aren't.
So, I mean, the Tonish's criticism is not without some weight.
I mean, he is correct in certain ways, but I think perhaps it's just the way he's reported in the paper.
Maybe he wasn't so binary in it that it is the local authority and nobody else is at fault.
There is a levy for 36 years, but the central point of making, we've got a thing called myplan.ie, which is supposed to track all the local authority developed plans.
It's been around since 2014.
It's not yet complete.
That's the state.
You've got a situation where
The state last year brought out apartment guidelines and then it was judicially reviewed and only the other day they brought out a revision.
That's like literally took it 12 months to do a revision of a report and that has caused a delay in the development market where people don't know whether to jump left or jump right pending the state getting documents.
So I think that Thomas should look at his own departments first and make sure that his own departments are working at full speed and delivering the documentation that developers need in order to bring forward development.
It's Tom, sorry.
Well, I agree, but the definition of derelict is already around for 36 years in the 1990 Derelict Sites Act.
And so that is, and in certain places, it's a matter of just making it, of tidying up a property.
It doesn't have to be an active use, but it's just making it not look unsightly, which itself is a subjective analysis.
So that is already in place and has been around for some time.
Yeah, well, it's...
It is, but at the moment, you see, there's a big debate and a lot of discussion about land hoarding, where developers are trying to assemble sites and they're deemed to be land hoarding.
You know, where they're trying to get three or four properties together to make a bigger development.
