The council's report identifies as an area of control the possible dampening of the property tax if house prices were to increase. The Government already has a strategy for housing. One of the areas identified is Government support where loan-to-value ratios are at 95%. This was criticised by the IMF in its report yesterday. Is this an issue of concern for the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council?
