  • Ciara Doherty is joined by Architect Hugh Wallace, Steven Matthews TD, Senator Rebecca Moynihan and Senior Business Reporter Killian Woods to react to the thousands of vacant homes in Ireland during a housing crisis and the introduction of a vacant property tax.
    The Minister for Housing Darragh O'Brien has said that the government plans to introduce a vacant property tax in Budget 2023.
    The number of vacant homes in Ireland is not yet confirmed, Steven Matthews TD lists the ways you can report vacant homes and the schemes involved. He explains if you cannot measure something, you cannot manage it.
    Hugh believes that there should be no VAT for first-time buyers or for people doing construction.
    Killian tells Ciara how viewers can apply for derelict property levies to refurbish their vacant homes to live in or to put onto the property market.

    I'm in Cashel. I walked 300m to Aldi. 6 vacant houses. None over a shop just vacant . I have reported them all. 4 of them have been sitting there since the boom. It's disgusting.

    Who is to blame? Look no further than two men by the names of Leo Varadkar and Michéal Martin, they treat their citizens as invisible then drain away public money to boost their over-inflated wages, the only thing that motivates both of them and their parties is greed, and Ireland's poor people have been affected terribly by the coalition's greed.

    Taxing the rich always ends up hurting the poor. The problem is and always has been too much government, too many tax funded NGOs too many useless government employees doing nothing, all unionised to vote for their own interests and that is to keep them in power, increasing tax upon tax, driving up cost of living that the people cannot afford food let alone own any property.
