I will come back to the Minister on the source of that figure.

So that I am clear, is the review commissioned by Revenue in 2022 published? The Minister referred to the other reports and reviews that are going on but will he clarify if that review is published?

A report published by the Central Bank last year found that 78% of the homes owned by investment funds were bought as existing properties. The report also found that institutional landlords increased monthly rents by about 4.1% more than other landlords. These funds are driving up rents, increasing house prices and locking out first-time buyers. Will the Minister, at very least, close down these loopholes that are allowing them to get away with tax evasion? Was the Revenue review published?
