I move amendment No. 79:

In page 171, between lines 11 and 12, to insert the following: “Report on the Vacant Homes Tax

85.The Minister shall, within six months of the passing of this Act, prepare and lay before Dáil Éireann a report on the vacant homes tax, including an assessment of options to include derelict properties within its scope, to apply a minimum amount of tax greater than three times the lowest rate of Local Property Tax and to increase the amount of vacant homes tax to be charged in respect of a residential property in proportion to the length of time during which that property remains vacant.”.
