Support for farmer exemption from zoned land tax

Land is being zoned is "through a desktop study being done by the local authorities".

Opposition TDs have supported farmers’ calls for their land to be excluded from the residential zoned land tax.

Speaking to members of the media at the Irish Creamery Milk Suppliers Association AGM in Co Limerick on Monday, Sinn Féin agriculture spokesperson Matt Carthy said that the “difficulty is that some land shouldn’t be zoned; if the land isn’t available for development, then it shouldn’t be zoned”.
