A LABOUR SENATOR has called for a six-month levy on housing sites that lie vacant for more than six months.
The Business Post reported yesterday that hundreds of luxury apartments lie vacant at two prominent Dublin rental blocks.
Labour housing spokesperson Rebecca Moynihan said described this as a “scandal… while thousands of families have no proper home”.
She said a levy on empty housing is “urgently needed” – there is already a vacant site levy in place.
An independent report presented to government in 2018 did not recommend bringing in a vacant property tax at that time.
So today we’re asking: Should there be a levy on housing units that lie vacant for over six months?

No way…. Harrison Ford was clearly the best cinematic portrayal of POTUS.
What about Arnold, the Nuclear option?

Morgan Freeman.
How about Morgan Freeman, lovely voice and way blacker than Obama. Played a great cowboy too in Unforgiven, so well qualified for the job
Enda Kenny.
Not Interested, We have an election in Ireland,
Try and cover it without the usual journal pro FG censorship and deflection.
If Morgan Freeman was president, he should be forced to give a half hour long talk every day..
All Celebrities should should be ruled out of a presidential race . Delighted Trump suffered a setback . Maybe Hillary?
Alot of button pressers clearly havent a clue who hillary clinton really is
Enda wouldn’t go for it. It would mean a wage reduction and he probably would have less advisors and assistants to do his job
@Free – Exactly. Well said.

Freebetcitydcom I put a question mark under my post I would want to go into Hillary`s past if were eligible to vote but to reply to its a democratic vote and people can make up their own mind I have searched every for your choice of a candidate You did not offer any candidates only good
And I third that The Dude – well said freebet.
And I fourth it! The GOP must crapping their pants at the thought of the possibility of 12 or even 16 years without a white male president.
