I want to make this clear too. I do not have a vested interest in this. I do not claim section 23 relief. I want everybody in this House when they get up to clearly state whether they have availed of section 23 relief, "Yes" or "No". I never have.

On the Shannon corridor, which enjoyed section 23 relief, the benefits that relief brought to Longford, Leitrim, north Roscommon and south Sligo are evident. One need only go to Carrick-on-Shannon and walk along the Shannon to see the result. The removal of this relief without a full cost-benefit analysis would leave these ghost estates impossible to sell.
