Tax Code
Dail Éireann — 2022-02-22
============================================================

Richard Boyd Barrett (PBP), Dún Laoghaire

People Before Profit has always opposed the tax that is imposed on the family home because it is an unjust and regressive form of taxation.
We think there is an added case, however, given the role the vulture funds, cuckoo funds, buy-to-rent property investors or whatever name one wants to give them who are now controlling and dominating the housing sector are playing in driving up rents and house prices to unaffordable levels, to have a real property tax - not one on family homes but on these people who are wrecking the housing market.
