Last week another report from Daft revealed record rents and serious shortages of supply. I was in Limerick yesterday and I heard that only five properties are available to rent in the entire city. We need to ensure our stock of housing is being used more effectively along with ensuring more supply of homes coming on-stream. Is the Government taking any action to ensure an effective vacant housing tax will be introduced without further delay? It is also a climate measure ensuring we use our building stock more effectively. Most importantly it makes more homes available for more people.
