Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

Several of the Minister's colleagues have signalled a review of the local property tax, LPT, including the Minister for Finance, Deputy Donohoe, this morning. We had advised Government from the outset that the local property tax was not a progressive but a punitive tax on the family home. It seems the penny has dropped as property prices and home values are rising not least in Dublin. The Government should be abolishing this tax. As it seems it will not do that can the Minister tell me when this promised review will be completed and will it require any legislative change?
