Finance Bill 2020: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2020-12-11
============================================================

Paul Gavan (SF), Labour Panel

The contradiction is on the Minister of State's side. He is saying that if we effectively give money to developers via the help to buy scheme, it will not cause inflation, but it will with renters.
We will not get agreement on this, but we are asking for a report to examine what the consequences could be. What is the harm in that? What is the Minister of State afraid the report might elicit?
