Joan Collins (I4C), Dublin South-Central

On 25 April, the Taoiseach stated the Government would waive development levies for one year. The day before that, however, he stated in a press briefing that the waiver would apply for a couple of years. For what period will the waiver apply? How will all local authority funds and developments connected to levies be guaranteed by the Government? I ask the Minister to make a statement on the matter. Dublin City Council has a €2.4 billion capital budget, of which 9.3% is covered by levies. It makes up a significant part of the budget.
