Written Answers — Department of Finance: Tax Code (15 Apr 2014)

Michael Noonan: An exchange of land constitutes a disposal of an asset for capital gains tax purposes. Each party to the exchange is ordinarily liable to capital gains tax on any chargeable gain in respect of the disposal.

Written Answers — Land Registry: Land Registry (13 Jun 2006)

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (9 Mar 2023)

Seán Canney: Just for clarity, phase 2 land cannot be developed, full stop, until all of phase 1 land has been used up. There should be no liability to any owner of that land while it remains in phase 2. That needs to be set out clearly because a tax cannot be put on something when somebody is not making it available because it is not going to be used. My other concern about all of this, going back...

Bobby Aylward: I see that in 2018 the Housing Agency held 243 ha of residential development land in 72 locations. The land was transferred to the agency from local authorities under the land aggregation scheme in operation from 2013. That seems to be a lot of land. Being a farmer, I know what a hectare of land is and it seems to be a lot of land to have lying idle, from what I am reading between the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Use of Commonage Lands: Discussion (Resumed) with UFA and IFA (26 Feb 2013)

Mr. John Bryan: Then they are farming. The Commission does not state that a farmer must farm every square inch of land, whether that land is in Achill or Kilkenny. When my land maps were returned to me various pieces of land had been removed because the Commission deemed that land was not being farmed. Land which is being farmed and kept in good agricultural condition is deemed eligible....

Written Answers — Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Forestry Sector (28 Apr 2021)

Written Answers — Farm Land Prices: Farm Land Prices (8 Jun 2006)

Mary Coughlan: The rise in agricultural land prices over the last 10 years has been primarily driven by the decline in the amount of land available for sale as well as our strong economic growth. The volume of agricultural land being offered for sale has declined by 71% between 1995 and 2004, while the average price of agricultural land has increased from €5,641 to €16,261 per hectare.
