Last night’s Nine O’Clock News on RTÉ 1

Following yesterday’s budget, landlords who had been able to offset 80 per cent on the interest they incurred on mortgages were told they could now defer 100 per cent.

A 20 per cent increase.

According to the Irish Times:

“The measure is seen as a step by the Government to encourage landlords to stay in the market, amid claims that high tax burdens were forcing them to sell up to owner-occupiers.”

Good times.

Meanwhile…

Some Old Queen writes:

‘The landlord mortgage tax relief wasn’t even mentioned in the RTÉ Nine O’Clock News yesterday evening, which is quite extraordinary.’

Anyone?
