DO YOU THINK the government should reduce taxes in the construction industry to encourage more housing developments?
Fianna Fáil have told the Sunday Business Post that Vat rates for developers should be reduced to 9% for three years. Its housing spokesperson Barry Cowen said that levies should also be reduced for builders who build homes immediately.
“The pussy footing is over. There has to be radical measures for a period to allow the sector get back on its feet,” he told the Sunday paper.
But fears have been raised that this is just a return to the boom and bust nature of the construction sector before the recession, rather than offering fresh solutions.
So we’re asking, Do you think the government should give tax breaks to developers to help build more houses?

Not to be a spoil sport but- I was always told it’s illegal to collect frogspawn?
@Kevin Hill: me also
@Colin Keogh: for educational purposes its aloud as far as I know
@Kevin Hill: It is here but schools are allowed for educational purposes. This was in NI.
@Kevin Hill: they were on ground that was drying so were going to die. Did the same myself in early march and have a few thousand tadpoles in a pond which I’ll be releasing as soon as they are frogs. Could have been famous too!
@Kevin Hill: ah whisht you
She’s delightful ! At least she didn’t waste her COVID months in and out of the off license unlike some …ahem
Illegal… Jesus every child the far side of the red cow collected tadpoles as a kid, and caught bees in a jam jar.
Jesus I’ve been doing this for years, because frogs return to the same spot every year to spawn so they generally spawn in drainage ditches near us which end up drying up. So we collect them, rear them and release them in a nature reserve near us also. Never thought to put it on the internet. Guess I missed my five minutes of fame.
The world we live in now everything is a sensation.
That’s more than a jar of frogspawn, I hope they will be released eventually
