This is about the defective concrete products levy. The levy will apply to specific concrete blocks and boring concrete. Precast has now been excluded. The measure was expected to raise €80 million in a full year when announced in budget 2023. However it is likely to yield less than this as the proposed 10% levy will now be implemented at a rate of 5%. It is about the impact of the concrete levy on the cost of housing. This is why we oppose the section.
