Another point requires clarification. I note that during First Stage, Deputy O'Brien made reference to the relief proposed applying only to principal private residences. However, that restriction does not appear to be provided for in the text of the Bill. It is an important point as many landlords would be liable to pay management fees. Under the Deputy's proposal, they may be in a position to deduct the cost of those fees from their tax liabilities. Perhaps the Deputy would clarify precisely what his intentions are in this regard. For instance, does he favour landlords being able to benefit potentially on the double from his proposal?
