Local property tax surplus
Deputy Hourigan asks whether changes to local property tax will leave extra money with local authorities for self-funding.
I have a question around the changes to the LPT we saw in 2021. It has been stated by the Minister for Finance that there will be no change to the Exchequer as a result of the post-2013 houses coming on stream and the new scheme in general. Would it be possible for the Taoiseach to confirm whether that means the extra money will be retained for self-funding by local authorities? I am aware many areas with high population growth are especially concerned about this.
