National Development Plan Mid-Term Evaluation: Statements.
The report also recognises that second houses and holiday homes have created an inflationary pressure on the construction industry and proposes the taxing of these homes, a proposal with which I would not agree. If we made it easier for people to live and work in the regions in which they want to live, they might not need holiday homes. Obviously, the west and mid-west would feature strongly in this regard and we would be delighted to accommodate people.
