What happened in the days and weeks leading up to the bank guarantee of 30 September 2008? TheJournal.ie presents an in-depth account from the people who were in the thick of it.
A LABOUR SENATOR has called for a six-month levy on housing sites that lie vacant for more than six months.
The Business Post reported yesterday that hundreds of luxury apartments lie vacant at two prominent Dublin rental blocks.
Labour housing spokesperson Rebecca Moynihan said described this as a “scandal… while thousands of families have no proper home”.
She said a levy on empty housing is “urgently needed” – there is already a vacant site levy in place.
An independent report presented to government in 2018 did not recommend bringing in a vacant property tax at that time.
So today we’re asking: Should there be a levy on housing units that lie vacant for over six months?
