Financial Resolution No. 3: Value-Added Tax (7 Oct 2025)

Eoin Ó Broin: The Minister is absolutely correct. There are planning permissions for 40,000 apartments that have not yet been commenced. The Minister claimed that this measure is to activate those permissions. Why then provide a VAT reduction in respect of apartments under construction? All the expenditure being provided for this measure next year is for apartments that are currently being built. It...

Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Further Revised) (2 Oct 2025)

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank the Minister and his team for the detailed briefing documents. First, I do not understand why the €250 million for the development levy waiver scheme has gone into subhead A3, local authority housing. Obviously, local authorities would have otherwise collected that development levy and that would have been used as part of the general Government funds. Surely that is not the...

Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Further Revised) (2 Oct 2025)

Eoin Ó Broin: Am I correct in saying that it is not money for the delivery of social housing and is simply to compensate the local authorities for the loss of development levies to the tune of €250 million?

Select Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage: Estimates for Public Services 2025

Eoin Ó Broin: The reason that is important is that the total spend under subhead A3 last year was €1.851 billion.
