I met with the Irish Farmers Association, IFA, earlier. One of the matters that came up was the residential zoned land tax, RZLT, and what may be happening with that. My understanding is that functional farmers will be exempt from paying the tax and lands that are zoned R2, which are secondary lands, for residential development will also be excluded. However, I understand from the IFA that farmers who have sought dezoning are being refused it. How will that match up with the commitment that this would not happen and that R2 lands would also be exempt?
