Written answers

Minister of State at the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government

The construction and delivery of commercial development is a matter for normal market functioning within the broad legislative, regulatory and policy context set down by Government and local authorities in the areas of planning, building regulations and related areas. I am not aware of any incentives that exist for the construction and delivery of commercial development. The issue of financial incentives, such as tax incentives, are a matter for my colleague, the Minister for Finance.
