I am pleased to note that developers will now be subject to Part V of the 2000 Act as they will be required to pay a levy of 0.5% on all houses costing up to €270,000 and 1% on the sale price of houses above that amount. The efforts in the Bill to ensure these levies are not passed on to house purchases should be applauded. I have no doubt the Minister will ensure they are not passed on. It is a welcome means of ensuring those houses hitherto excluded from the provisions of the Act because planning permission was granted in advance of it coming into force will now make a contribution to the Exchequer.
