Sir, – Sinn Féin’s housing plan says it can deliver 35,000 new private rental tenancies, while imposing a rent freeze, banning evictions, scrapping the landlord tax credit, introducing new taxes on the ownership of rental properties and increasing higher stamp duty “to end the bulk purchase of residential property by institutional investors”, according to the party’s manifesto.
Clearly the suggestion that Sinn Féin can increase the supply of new private rental tenancies has no basis in any reasonable perspective on the private rental sector.
Sinn Féin’s housing plans have more than a simple question mark hanging over them. – Yours, etc,
