@DerelictDrawda @davidmcw @anoisagency @frank_oconnor @RoryHearneGaffs @otrosnosotros @RobJCurley @Robcass78 Not only was it a lower tax at 3% rather than the previous 7%
The Residential Zoned Land Tax had so many exemptions it was a waste of time.
There's actually less RZLT sites in Cork City than the former Vacant Homes Tax

Wonder has Micheal ever heard of Ireland.

[Matt McGranaghan @MattMcGranaghan]

Why is the Embassy of Ireland hosting and promoting this?

[Philip Oldfield @SustainableTall]

“It's the market not the planning system that determines the rate at which stuff gets built. That's becoming more and more evident....We're just chasing our tails if we think reforming the planning system is going to solve this”

Is he doing a book launch tour of all the Irish embassies in countries young people have emigrated to because they can’t afford a home here?

[Luke 'Ming' Flanagan @lukeming]

The housing crisis is hilarious. Shower of pricks.

[Tony - Pod Guy - Groves @Trickstersworld]

Are you telling me that our tax money is going towards promoting the book of the former Minister for Homelessness alongside the lad who pocketed thousands via bogus self employment in RTE?

[Rory Hearne @RoryHearneGaffs]

€495000 considered an 'affordable' home?

This is why we need a radical new direction in housing policy.

"houses costing up to €495,000 in the State’s most expensive “affordable purchase” housing scheme built to date"

The prospect of four years of a Fianna Fáil Taoiseach is a grim one because their big idea is to cynically hose money into the demand side of housing, giving themselves the appearance of patronage and largesse but inevitably inflating the market further and thereby aggravating..

[Daithi @daithigor]

I'm looking forward to Alan Kelly making apartment sizes even smaller.

[CD @cilliandoyle87]

It means the smaller party wants the bigger party to act like both are equally sized parties

This concludes our lecture

[Upfront with Katie Hannon @RTEUpfront]

@Labour TD @marie_sherlock rules out going into government with Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael.

Analysis: Simon Harris promised 40,000 new homes this year - that pledge is slowly unravelling

Mounting evidence now suggests housing completions will be in line with last year

Not really that wild. There is an ideological tug of war going on in the heads of the poorer parts of the working class.

State failure and neglect has created an anger that the far right have tapped into. 1/2
