about 3 hours ago
Green Party leader Eamon Ryan has insisted his party is committed to apartment living and ownership as he rejected opposition claims of abandoning young people in Dublin by excluding apartments from stamp duty increases on investment funds.
The Minister for Climate Change and Communications said the Government agreed they would “come back” to the issue through the Affordable Housing Bill, currently going through the Seanad to assess what further measures could be taken to deliver on that and create “high quality urban living”.
