Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Review of National Planning Framework and Climate Targets: Discussion (26 Sep 2023)

John Cummins: I know; that is correct. What about the difficulty now for some people in the context of the residential zoned land tax?

Mr. Brendan McDonagh: It is, Deputy. We are certainly funding some of our debtors and receivers to build houses on some of that land.
