Tax Code
Dail Éireann — 2025-12-09
============================================================

Pearse Doherty (SF), Donegal

Does the Minister accept that the legislation that underpins the revaluation increased the bands by 20% and that official statistics in counties such as Donegal, Leitrim, Monaghan, Sligo and Galway also had house prices increasing by 40%? The Minister referenced Revenue date published back in September. It estimated that 15% of all households in Galway would actually increase a band. There will be major differentiation across regions. Everybody is paying higher local property tax under Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael. Every single person is paying more. Everybody's property tax increased as a result of this but some had their tax substantially increased. At a time developers are being given hundreds of millions of euro in tax breaks by the Minister's party, people out there are being hit again and again as a result of this revaluation.
