Renters: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (5 Dec 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I am sorry that the Minister, Deputy O'Brien, has left the Chamber because he referred to the eviction bans and we are blue in the face from asking for a no-fault eviction ban. The reason we are doing so came to the fore for me last week when a mother of two young children rang me. The eldest child was four and she said that if tears could build a house she would have a house without a...

Estimates for Public Services 2023: Programme for Government (5 Dec 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: The Minister, Deputy Donohoe, was told that the health budget was not credible by the Secretary General of the Department of Health before budget day. He said that introducing a budget on that basis was not being honest and is a clear breach of public financial procedures. That is from the former senior civil servant in the Department of public expenditure, and this comes on the back of the...

To ask the Minister for Education and Skills to outline the pathway to intervention services for 'at-risk' pupils attending DEIS schools in Mayo who require access to the School Completion Programme, a central element of the DEIS plan, but who are unable to access the local interventions provided by the SCP due to issues around staffing levels and governance; and if she will make a...

Capital Supply Service and Purpose Report Bill 2023: Second Stage (Resumed) [Private Members] (29 Nov 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I would first like to thank Deputy Shanahan and the Regional Group for developing and bringing forward this Bill. This is a vitally important area to which this House needs to give more attention. Delivering capital projects is vital as it affects our ability to provide housing, healthcare, transport, connectivity and almost every aspect of the State. It can be the difference between a...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Election of Acting Chairman (29 Nov 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I nominate Deputy Aindrias Moynihan.

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Tax Expenditures in Budget 2024: Department of Finance (29 Nov 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I thank Ms Costello for that. I have just a few technical questions, to which we are confined. There is information on the Revenue website about how to calculate the tax due on rental properties. In the example of a landlord called Deirdre, she has a rental income of €15,600. It stated that she should pay €375 in tax - not even enough to benefit from the new landlord tax...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Tax Expenditures in Budget 2024: Department of Finance (29 Nov 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: It will be €375 rather than €600, is that correct? It would be zeroed down.

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Tax Expenditures in Budget 2024: Department of Finance (29 Nov 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Landlords can already deduct the interest on mortgages used to purchase their rental property. They can deduct, as Ms Costello said, insurance costs, maintenance costs, repair costs and RTB registration fees. When we compare that with workers who have mortgages, they cannot deduct from taxes they pay for their labour mortgage costs, interest rate costs, the cost of insurance or the cost of...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Tax Expenditures in Budget 2024: Department of Finance (29 Nov 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: For clarity, is Ms Costello saying that if somebody has, say, 20 properties and sells three of them, they will then not be able to claim the tax credit on any?

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Tax Expenditures in Budget 2024: Department of Finance (29 Nov 2023)

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Tax Expenditures in Budget 2024: Department of Finance (29 Nov 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: What will the counterfactual be when measuring it?

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Tax Expenditures in Budget 2024: Department of Finance (29 Nov 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: Quarter 2 of 2022 could not be used because the eviction ban was lifted then, which would corrupt the data. It would have to be measured against something else. This is important. I am trying to figure out how the Department can do it and how, at the same time, the process can have integrity.

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Tax Expenditures in Budget 2024: Department of Finance (29 Nov 2023)

Rose Conway-Walsh: I look forward to seeing it when it comes back. As of 2020, non-tax resident landlords had a total rental income of €330 million. That was just for residential properties. If I am a non-tax resident and I have other sources of income, what would be the likely increase in the amount of tax I owe on my rental income?
