They have hoarded land to push up prices and now want a tax break to release it?
No.
High density, In-fill derelict sites first before a blade of grass is disturbed.
A large annual tax on derelict sites.
A “whopping” tax, even.
i havent listened to this but goin by the picture Noonan looks like your typical irish businessman. can someone confirm or deny this please?
Like the lovechild of Lou Ferigno and Noel Dempsey.
Hahaha
He looks like the chinese man from Father Ted
That’s actually brilliant.
Why does land need to be ‘freed up’ when there are 260,000 empty houses, plus uncounted AirBnB apartments that could be used?
Do you not think the AirBnb apartments are useful to the economy?
The hotels are full anyway.
AirBnB in a lot of cases are empty a lot of the time. They’d be more useful if they were rented as living space.
The hotels are full? Not when I book.
What does that tell you?
