453. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government if his attention has been drawn to proposals in Spain in relation to taxation on real estate bought by non-EU residents (details supplied); if any research has been carried out by his Department into the potential impact of this policy; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Programme for Government 2025 commits to introducing a new, all-of-government national housing plan to follow Housing for All. Any proposals for new measures will be considered in this context.

Noting that my colleague, the Minister for Finance, has responsibility for taxation matters, my Department has not undertaken any research on the impact of taxation measures similar to those mooted by the Spanish Government, which measures I believe are yet to be implemented.
