You are correct, here are the details

A new tax targeting derelict houses is set to be introduced in 2026
The tax is set to replace the current Derelict Site Levy.

Great to see Revenue are taking over collection and enforcement of it. They might actually do it unlike the councils. It should have been in Revenue's hands from the beginning. Anyone with half a brain knew that this tax wouldn't really do anything once the councils were in charge of it.
Have a semi d rental, attached is a vacant derelict/vacant house, all attempts to get him to fix it up fell on deaf ears.
Hopefully the Revenue will make him see some sense and either fix it up or sell it.
what was the council's reasoning for not putting it on the register?

how many derelict properties are there in the country?
How the State ends up fining itself over derelict sites
An RTÉ Investigates analysis into derelict site registers found that State bodies appear repeatedly. In some cases, this has cost the State hundreds of thousands of euro in derelict sites levies

For some reason reminds me of this exchange from 'Braveheart'
Longshanks: Archers.
General: I beg your pardon, sire. Won't we hit our own troops?
Longshanks: Yes, but we'll hit theirs as well. We have reserves. Attack.

Bear in mind that the plan is for Revenue to do the collection.
The registration of derelict sites will remain with the 31 LA.
If the LA don't add a property to the register, the Revenue can't collect the tax.
Last year, there were five properties on the County Galway DSR.
Galway derelict site register described as "total joke" | GalwayBayFM
Councillor Jimmy McClearn said no other conclusion could be drawn when the Shannon Oaks Hotel in Portumna is classified as not derelict.

Bear in mind that during a ten minute walk through Tuam or Ballinasloe, you could probably find dozens.
It is very hard to legislate around State sector ineptitude and structural deficiencies. This looks like a valiant effort to do just that.
Anybody. You can contact the LA and report what you feel is a derelict site.
But LA staff make the actual decision to add a property to the official register.
They write to the owners first, to warn them of the impending addition to the register.
That alone may cause the owners to act.
