Is consideration being given to utilisation of the approximately €90 billion in personal savings on which DIRT tax is chargeable, which tax yields no great return for the State, to fund the critical infrastructure projects referred to by the Minister? If not, will he consider that prospect, particularly in the context of the current shortage of housing which also forms part of critical infrastructure?
