'People crying out for homes' - Greens furious over Fianna Fail plans to shelve tax on land hoarding

Government leaders unanimously recognize the need for significant housing development, yet the delay in tax implementation raises doubts about commitment to tackle land speculation.
A Green Party source highlighted that allowing speculators to retain zoned land undermines efforts to provide 50,000 new homes annually, which is deemed essential.
The possibility of farmers dezoning their land provides a safety net, but abandoning crucial tax measures would impede progress on the housing crisis.
