Micheál Martin: ...is not as simple as the Deputy articulated in terms of breaches of the 2% or not. However, there are sanctions and significant resources have been allocated to the RTB in respect of that issue. An ESRI study of the RPZs with the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage has said that if it was not for the RPZs and the zoning, the inflation in house rents would be notably...

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: National Development Plan (28 Nov 2023)

Ossian Smyth: Earlier this evening I spoke about the ESRI review. Part of the renaming of the Department to include NDP delivery involves asking an external agency to look at the exact question the Deputy asked, namely, what the barriers are to NDP delivery. We have asked the ESRI to assess what constraints we are reaching, what capacity constraints we have, what changes we might need to make and how to...

Ossian Smyth: ...money is being put aside to protect the economy in the event that our corporate taxes turn out to be a windfall. I dispute the assertion that we are not investing enough in capital projects. The ESRI report is about examining how far we can go with capital investment and given that we have full employment and a capacity constraint on skilled workers, how we can invest more into the...

Paul McAuliffe: I too welcome the commitment when the Taoiseach took office to have a child poverty initiative and to have the report. We should note not only did the ESRI say the budget is progressive but it also went on to say it reduces the at-risk-of-poverty rates for most groups. However, we have to work on lone parents and those with disability in their family. There is more work for us to do there....

Michael McGrath: ...global annual revenues of €750 million and above in at least two of the preceding four years. The Finance (No. 2) Bill 2023 will give effect to the tax measures announced in the budget and in doing so offers valuable support and certainty to taxpayers throughout the country.

Paul McAuliffe: ...is what is before us. It is worth acknowledging the scale of the intervention in terms of the social welfare budget. There will always be criticism in this House about political priorities. Yet, the ESRI is a respected body and even its independent analysis states that the total budgetary package is progressive. The research estimates that it will result in reductions in the numbers...

Pearse Doherty: It is difficult to see this tax break as anything other than an expensive sop to landlords. That is why Professor Barra Roantree, formerly of the ESRI, described this tax break as "Maybe the stupidest tax relief of recent times", with the vast majority going to landlords who never even thought of leaving the market. The Minister says there is a risk of deadweight. Is he telling me that he...

...we have identified in the new international strategy, which will be launched shortly, is the promotion of that flow and mobility between the two jurisdictions, which is really important.

Rose Conway-Walsh: ...ask them to also comment on the economic model they are working on right now for a policy framework for both economies on the island. How does that fit into the macroeconomic model developed by the ESRI and IBEC as well? From doing my research, I am conscious the data gaps, especially in the North, are crazy. It is crazy for us trying to do the work we do. The difficulties with data...

Pearse Doherty: ...who may not have had the time, money or risk appetite to continue with their property in such an environment, namely, an environment of high house prices, is that they are selling up. That is the reality. Professor Barra Roantree, formerly of the ESRI, said the following of this tax break, which would cost between €100 and €150 million, and we know now it is at the higher...

Heather Humphreys: ...those on lower incomes in particular. I believe the overall package of supports represents a robust response to the substantial bills and expenses that households are currently facing, and this view is supported by independent ESRI analysis. In 2023, these supports are estimated to cost almost €1.3 billion, of which €832 million is for Vote-funded schemes. The...
