How about government build houses themselves and rent it out at a reasonable level?
Long overdue. Would like to see some additional aggressive cuts to close the viability gap.
Cost of capital through the roof right now ireland, perhaps some state lending scheme for developers?
Eliminating all tax on housing development?
No doubt unpopular with Irish electorate, but all of these premiums are passed straight to the consumer so it would be very sensible policy
The government will pick up the tab; how kind of them/s
Anyone got a non paywall link?
Has any subsidy to developers ever succeeded in lowering the price of new builds?
(If your answer involves the appearance of unexpected costs between announcement of subsidy and finished price …. Would you like to buy a bridge?)
Irish Water will be raging.
Fucking moronic shit should have been done a decade ago
Would a similar scheme for individuals building houses also incentivise more new builds?
Are we at the scraping the barrel stage of dumbass ideas we are going to try to avoid the state stepping in to build its own housing like it used to do?
Im sure there is quite a few bs ideas in the neoliberal playbook.
And no house prices wont come down because of this. Developers will just pocket pocket more profit.
Property developers still owe the state E350 million. They weren’t paying anyway.
Just let us vote them out already, fuck this developer brown envelopes shit again
Hopefully this includes the tax charged for a self build. Meath County Council, for example, charge €7500 to commence a one off house
“Cannot be solved overnight”
But you can make an effort to try
So now they’re subsidising builds but not getting anything back and just hoping the savings get passed to the consumer? Wat
When I saw Apple had paid 8 billion in taxes I knew that FF/FG would try and buy the next election using the funds. This is the start of it.
It’s only five eggs per bloke per day
This is actually a reasonable proposal in my opinion. I would prefer to be able to claim the vat back on building when it’s my first home like in Northern Ireland.
They’d give it all away just to the oppress Irish people just a little bit more.
Some absolutely brutal takes here.
It now costs more to build a home than buyers can afford to pay. So builders can’t build and have been slowing down building commencements. That’s why costs need to fall.
It’s not a conspiracy, it’s a sensible thing to do.
Also sigh at the gobshites thinking we should be the only country in Europe with a public house building mega-corporation. (a) it would take a decade under any government to build up something like that, (b) the staff don’t exist, and (c) it would almost certainly be illegal under EU competition laws.
This basically fks the local councils as it has just wiped out a large portion of their annual budget with no indication it will be replaced by the govt
How about you stop giving rich douchebags voices so they don’t oppose any planning?
