I assume the Deputy is referring to the potential cost of the introduction of an incentive to install home alarms.

I would point out that such works already qualify for such a tax credit under the Home Renovation Incentive (HRI).  I am advised by Revenue that under the specific heading of "Supply and Fit Alarm", there have been 602 claims since 15 October 2013 with an associated cost of over €800,000.
