It is assumed that the Deputy has in mind increasing the existing rate of mortgage interest relief for first time buyers in 2009 to 30% in line with the Budget 2012 measure for first time buyers in 2004 to 2008 inclusive. I am informed by the Revenue Commissioners that the cost to the Exchequer of the changes mentioned is tentatively estimated to be of the order of â¬4 million per year.
