James Browne (Wexford, Fianna Fail)

All of the details around the various tax breaks, which Minister Donohoe worked on with the Department of housing to ensure we can increase the viability of apartments and get them and housing in general delivered, will be worked out over the coming weeks and then announced.

The purpose of the tax cuts is to bring about that viability so that we can get apartments that people need built. Off plan, there are over 40,000 apartments in Dublin that are ready to go but are not being built because they are not viable. The LDA was created to ensure that the cost rental model was there for people to able to benefit from it. The LDA will continue to ensure that this is the case.
