Simon Harris (FG), Wicklow

-----and that is for a reason called democracy.
We introduced the renters' tax credit. We increased the renters' tax credit. The programme for Government commits to further increasing the renters' tax credit. It is now worth more than €300 million to renters in this country. We also introduced rent pressure zones, including providing protections to renters in Donegal, that did not exist until we brought in those rent pressure zones. There are specific issues - and this does not suit the Deputy's quick social media clips - in relation to double taxation. We want investment to come into this country, we want more homes to be built, we want more apartments to be built and we want more rental properties for people. There are specific issues in relation to double taxation which we need to work our way through.
