Denis,

your party is proposing a special rate of mortgage relief for first-time home buyers between 2005 and 2008.

We believe this will cost the exchequer €120 million annually, but that will be offset by the earlier than planned abolition of mortgage interest relief for new first time buyers. Housing prices have fallen massively from the highs of the boom and Government support for paying for new mortgages should not be needed after June of this year. In time the relief will be phased out.

Full details of our fiscal plans will be released next week.
