Pearse Doherty: I thank the Minister for clarifying that landlords would be entitled to it anyway and it is just a change to the timeframe within which they may draw down the benefit in terms of making the outlay. Do the works need to be completed by the end of 2025?
- Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Finance Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (15 Nov 2022)
Pearse Doherty: Will that not be challenging given the two-year waiting list for these schemes already? The SEAI already says that from application to grant will take two years. As the clock starts to tick, will landlords do this because they cannot benefit if they do not have it drawn down in time and one of the big problems is the delay in getting the grant?
- Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Finance Bill 2022: Committee Stage (Resumed) (15 Nov 2022)
Pearse Doherty: The problem will not be in the years ahead. Within a number of months, there will nearly be a disincentive for landlords to apply for this. The SEAI has said that from application to grant takes two years. The Minister is right in saying that in certain areas it will be much worse. Two years is the average. If the Minister is creating an incentive, he should create an incentive. This...

Pearse Doherty: I have no problem with this section. It is something I raised on Committee Stage of the Investment Limited Partnerships (Amendment) Bill 2019. I made the point that there was no requirement to make annual returns or financial statements on exempt unit trusts and investment limited partnerships, so I welcome the inclusion of this in the Bill before us and I support this section.

Pearse Doherty: First, the Minister is now initiating a review we have been calling for for years. Second, the role these institutions are playing in new apartments being built is that they are purchasing the apartments. They are not just funding them. Both forward funding and forward purchasing exist, and what is happening in Ireland is the latter. These institutions are going into a contract and saying...

Pearse Doherty: There are 4,000 people going to sleep tonight in emergency accommodation. The Minister has been in Government 12 years. He has some neck to lecture me. There are 4,000 kids in emergency accommodation. Maybe the Minister could be a wee bit more humble.

Pearse Doherty: I thank the Acting Chairman. The Minister's scaremongering tactic, and Fine Gael's tactic, in relation to Sinn Féin does not work. If anyone wants proof of that, I remind the Minister that we sat in this committee last year to deal with the Finance Bill 2021. I put forward the proposal for rent relief and said it would put €1,500 into the pockets of renters who were renting...
