Sinn Féin has also proposed a tax credit for renters and proposed an outline cost of €300 million when it cost €600 million. Again an uncosted plan that is not credible. People do not accept the interventions by the Minister around protecting renters and around increasing supply and driving affordability of housing. They do not recognise that Part V has been increased to 20% or the progression of a residential land-zone tax, as well as a vacant homes tax. These are the facts rather than the ongoing rhetoric. They want to cut the legs from private supply at a time when every avenue must operate in tandem. Those who need housing right now want delivery not dogma.
