That reliance on land and property further embeds some very unfair and inequitable tax reliefs that are available and perpetuates that situation. I will make one final point as I am aware that Deputy Moynihan may wish to make a contribution.

We have had many debates at this and other committees of this House in relation to tax expenditures and the way in which we approach them in this country. Many of the tax expenditures that are now embedded into the system may have had some utility at some point in the past but many have outlived their usefulness, if they ever had any in the first place. At the risk of asking our guests to be descriptive, is there one particular tax relief or tax expenditure that they believe is particularly egregious? If so, how and why should it be removed from the system?
