Local Property Tax and Commercial Stamp Duty: Department of Finance

Mr. John Hogan:

I have covered some of that ground with the Deputy's colleague. The 2015 Thornhill report outlined a series of potential options that could be undertaken as a next step. Some of those options remain valid even to this stage. Over the next number of weeks and months, the interdepartmental group will consider the potential impact so that the Government can be best apprised of the potential impact of changes having regard to the movement of property prices. I hope my explanation has been helpful.
