There was a discussion on the exemption for build-to-rent apartments. This is a shocking exemption. A proportion should be set aside. This has been mentioned in the witnesses' submissions.

Something that has been raised often with me in recent years is the cost of adapting houses. The maximum that can be obtained is €30,000. No one can adapt a house for €30,000. Even for people trying to put in a bathroom, shower or wet room, the amount of money available is a fraction of the cost involved. Some people do not have the finances for the additional work. It is a barrier to adapting the property. Is this something witnesses have come across?
