Definitely not a conflict of interest from Michael O’Flynn member of the Government-appointed Commission on Housing
And what’s the point of a land tax if you exempt all the land on there?
IF the reason for all this land to be still under developed is that the planning was refused or held up then fine it is deserving of an exemption. If not, then tax him for all of it.

To get an exemption from the RZLT you’re supposed to show that the land can’t be developed, which will mainly be because (despite the zoning) the appropriate infrastructure is not in place. This will mainly be water/sewerage stuff, but could be transport or electricity.
Hopefully, we’ll get a better picture of some of the impediments to development.
One question I’d have out of this, if the land can’t yet be developed because there’s a need for a new water main or whatever, surely that severely devalues the land? Sometimes the necessary projects will be a decade or more off. At that stage you’d expect that the land isn’t de facto all that different from non-residential land that just happens to be in proximity to a town or city.
So many fingers in so many pies, and never a conflict of interest
Of course he does, and so will all the rest of them, on the quiet.
This is massive, the RZLT has the ability to fundamentally change how land and housing are thought of in Ireland. I always felt that FF/FG would make enough loopholes and bullshit exemptions to make a meaningful law pointless. Vote these cretins the fuck out.
Brown envelopes work wonders.
Ireland is governed by the exception. The tax is useless with such get outs and law is useless when exceptions are the only rule,
67% of the properties listed (12 out of 18) were given an exemption. FUUUUUUK That. Jesus christ there’s so much wrong with that its insane.
The irishtimes forgot to ask why or how, how silly of them to instead act as a Fine Gael newsletter by mistake.
We’ll be forever stuck as a backwards fucking gombeen country if these British tabloids are not shut down permanently.
It’s all just one big massive fucking party and none of us are invited.
They’ll be all at this lark now.
This is why the land value tax should apply to all lots independent of zoning, permission, or what’s currently built there. Lower other taxes to compensate.
I told em they would your smile against you Michael.
