I move recommendation No. 17:

In page 130, between lines 32 and 33, to insert the following:

“Report on introduction of measures to combat hoarding of land

74. The Minister shall, within 6 months of the passing of this Act, prepare and lay before Dáil Éireann a report on the introduction of measures to combat the hoarding of land needed for development, examining the options for and efficacy of a vacant property tax and land value tax.”.

The recommendation is intended to combat the hoarding of land needed for development and to examine the options for efficacy of vacant property tax and land value tax. In the current climate of the housing crisis, we see again today that the homeless figures have increased and it is really important to do this.
