(26 Jan 2023)

Verona Murphy: Even though the issue was, as Mr. Doyle said earlier, viability. Logically, then, as the Secretary General looking for an increase of €15,000, Mr. Doyle is telling me that it is correct to impose a tax on such land - we are all saying there is a viability issue - and correct to increase the taxes pertinent to housing development in the middle of the worst housing crisis ever.

(26 Jan 2023)

Verona Murphy: The housing policy, the national planning policy, is to lands. What will that do? It will serve to drive up the site cost of the lands that remain zoned because, as Mr. Doyle just said, supply and demand is the issue. Less land means higher costs.

Verona Murphy: No. I did not ask Mr. Hogan, with all due respect. Mr. Doyle is the accountant. He is the Secretary General. Logically, does this serve to enhance or to decrease viability? Which is it?

(26 Jan 2023)

Verona Murphy: No. There are two issues. I specifically stated that. One is the residential zoned land tax; the other is the national planning policy to lands. Neither of them makes sense if we are trying to reduce the cost of housing in order to make it viable for commencement of current planning permissions. By the way, going back to Mr. Hogan, I assume that the national guidelines he says are...

Verona Murphy: All the policy that has been put in place is serving to drive up the cost of providing housing. It does nothing to ensure commencement. It does the total opposite, but Mr. Doyle is saying he does not agree with that.
