Figures Reveal Developers Owe €750m
Property developers owe more than €750m in unpaid development levies to local authorities around the country, according to new figures.
The figures are contained in a response from the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government to a parliamentary question submitted by Fine Gael TD for Wicklow, Simon Harris.
They go on to show that some €439m, more than half the total amount owed to the county, city and town councils, is due to be paid this year.
The remaining balance relates to previous years.
The largest amount, more than €131m, is owed to Fingal County Council, while Dublin City Council is owed more than €106m.
Speaking on RTÉ's News at One, Mr Harris said that there was an onus on the local authorities to collect development levies on a phased basis.
