New housing report punts vacant homes tax

An Oireachtas Joint Committee on Housing report into urban regeneration to be published today (Tuesday, 24 May, 2022) recommends that Government consider a vacant homes tax.

Macra na Feirme repeats call for generational renewal for farmers

Years of highlighting the need for generational renewal for farmers has failed to yield tangible support, says Macra na Feirme. The organisation has been motivating for a substantial farmer retirement scheme to financially support the retiring farmer while enabling a genuine, ongoing connection to the farm if so desired. In addition, they have been calling for that land to enter into the hands of young farmers regardless of enterprise when…

Timber homes could ease social housing crisis

Timber homes take three to five months to erect compared to eight to 12 months for regular homes. Yet only a quarter of new homes built in Ireland are made of wood. With property prices increasing alongside the social housing crisis, a solution lies in the construction of timber-framed homes. What’s more, each timber home saves 12 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions. According to Forest Industries Ireland (FII), part of…

Push for Irish Deer Management Forum to get up and running

News of The Irish Deer Management Forum revival came in February this year. The forum’s renewal was spurred on by concerns over the spread of bovine TB, but this is under dispute, as according to the Irish Deer Commission: “In 2018, DAFM chief veterinary officer Eoin Ryan stated there was no evidence of a link between wild deer and the spread of TB”. But IFA Animal Health Chair TJ Maher…

ICSA pitches a tillage scheme for catch crops production

ICSA Tillage chair Gavin Carberry has called on the government to deliver a scheme for tillage farmers to grow catch crops after this year’s harvest. “A similar scheme was run in 2018 whereby tillage farmers were incentivized to produce additional feed during the autumn months. It is vital that we start preparing now for the winter ahead and given the concerns around the cost and availability of meal such an…

Property price growth remains strong

While property price growth is still strong, this could slow as the year progresses, according to Trevor Grant, chairman of the Association of Irish Mortgage Advisers. Influencing factors include “anticipated increased supply coming on stream and mortgage exceptions becoming harder to obtain, which reduces borrowing power accordingly”. The current housing shortage coupled with strong mortgage approval figures makes it difficult to forecast how the upcoming ECB rate increases will affect…

Beef and spring lamb prices increase – 19 May, 2022

Beef prices have increased 5 to 10c/kg in the past week as demand continues to exceed supply.

No extra EU funding for farmers

Tim Cullinan, president of the Irish Farmers Association, commented on the potential implementation by the EU Commission of a lump sum scheme designed to address pressures resulting from the inputs crisis as a diversion of funding rather than the provision of new funding. He said the scheme does not make extra EU funding available for farmers. It was simply a way for member states to shift funding from the Rural…

Lump sum payment to farmers suggested by the EU

Farmers could receive a once-off lump sum payment to offset cost increases they’ve had to shoulder since the outbreak of war in Ukraine. This is if a proposal by the European Commission bears fruit. This direct cash injection could see farmers receive up to €15,000, with SMEs potentially securing €100,000. To be formalised, the proposal must get approval from the Council of Ministers and the Parliament. The proposal is to…

RPZs impacting the capital values of properties

Research by economist Jim Power on behalf of the Institute of Professional Auctioneers and Valuers (IPAV) and the Irish Property Owners Association (IPOA) have established that the changing regulatory and taxation environment is mostly responsible for private non-institutional landlords leaving the rental market. Rent Pressure Zones (RPZs), which limit the extent to which rental prices can be increased in an area, have also created a two-tier rental market. The report…

Retailers need to play their part, says IBLA

As basic input costs continue to rise for farmers, some proactive UK retailers have attempted to ensure that primary producers are somewhat insulated against rising production costs. The Irish Beef and Lamb Association (IBLA) has now called on Irish retailers to follow the lead of their British counterparts. The farming organization’s view is that, “Farmers have no more left to give, it’s approaching a point for drastic measures for them.…

Cost of regular beef exceeds organic cuts, says ICSA

The Irish Cattle and Sheep Farmers Association (ICSA) claims that regular beef cost more than certified organic beef this week. What’s more, they state that a premium of at least EUR 1/kg is necessary to incentivise farmers to convert to organic cattle farming. That’s because organic farming has lower output. “This week, we have seen the prices paid for conventional cattle exceeding those paid for organic cattle,” said ICSA organics…

State subsidy has little appeal for builders

Builders are unhappy with a new State subsidy – despite the intention to make up to EUR 144 000 available per new apartment they construct outside Dublin. In fact, developers were underwhelmed by the EUR 450 million Croí Cónaithe cities fund, not having lobbied for it or being sure of guaranteed profits underpinned by the fund. They would rather have a tax incentive. But the point of the scheme is…

Prices for pigs should be higher, says IFA

The Irish Farmer’s Association (IFA) campaign seeking to get prices for pigs up to EUR 2/kg by 1 June 2022 is gaining momentum. Talks are ongoing as the Irish Farmer’s Association meets with key players to discuss the need for farmers to secure higher prices for pigs to offset the severe losses experienced on farms. While IFA spokespeople talked to representatives from retailer Tesco and pork processing company Rosderra, the…
