Tax Collection
Dail Éireann — 2026-09-29
============================================================

Pearse Doherty (SF), Donegal

Within a stone's throw of this Dáil, there are apartments owned by vulture funds. They charge over €3,000 for a two-bedroom apartment and the Government lets them off without paying a penny in tax on their rental income. Hundreds of thousands of euro are being fleeced from renters right across this city and elsewhere and the Minister of Finance does not ask these funds to pay a penny of corporation tax on their rental income. Is the Minister going to continue to adopt that position, which is against his officials' advice, that there should be a tax applied on these funds?
