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

“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”

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?

€495000 considered an 'affordable' home?
This is why we need a radical new direction in housing policy.

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..

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
