Paul Bradford (Fine Gael)

I move recommendation No. 14:

In page 32, before section 26, to insert the following new section:

26.---Section 644AB and 649B of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997 shall not apply where a change in the zoning of lands was contained in a draft development plan or a draft local area plan published prior to 30 October 2009 and adopted after 30 October 2009. The zoning of lands in the draft development plan or a draft local area plan published prior to 30 October 2009 and adopted after 30 October 2009 shall be deemed to be the actual zoning of the land on 30 October 2009 for the purposes of section 644AB and 649B of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997.".

I move this recommendation in the brief absence of Senator Twomey. I believe it proposes to address a small number of specific problems, of which the Minister of State is aware. It is a reasonable amendment and I ask the Minister of State to consider it favourably.
