The information requested by the Deputy is not collected by my Department.

Under section 8 (Part II) of the Derelict Sites Act 1990, each planning authority is required to maintain a register of derelict sites, including derelict houses and structures, in their respective functional areas and to have it available for inspection at its offices during office hours. In addition, some planning authorities publish their register online, although this is not required by statute. The register is required to contain the following information:(a) particulars of any land in their functional area which, in their opinion, is a derelict site,(b) the name and address of each owner and occupier, where these can be ascertained by reasonable enquiry,(c) particulars of any action taken by the local authority under this Act or under any other enactment in relation to the site,(d) in the case of land owned or occupied by a local authority, particulars of the use, if any, which is being made of the land and particulars of any purpose for which the land is intended to be used,(e) particulars of the market value of urban land as determined by the local authority, or by the Valuation Tribunal on appeal, in accordance with the provisions of section 22, and(f) such other particulars as may be prescribed.

The specific information requested in relation to the site concerned can be obtained by contacting Galway City Council at housing@galwaycity.ie.
