Committee on Housing and Homelessness

Irish Property Owners Association

10:30 am

Mr. Tom O'Brien:

I am sorry but I do not agree. Decisions in the property and private rental market in 2012 were palatable in many quarters at the time but some of the tax measures were introduced when landlords could at least afford them. Landlords were the most unfortunate section of society after developers at that time.
