‘Help to buy’ scheme is “useless” and “of no consequence” according to local auctioneer
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

“Useless” and “of no consequence” is how a local auctioneer is describing the ‘Help to Buy’ scheme announced in Budget 2017.

It offers a €20,000 tax rebate to first time buyers but only on new builds.

Fianna Fáil has now said it will abstain from a vote on the plans.

Speaking to KCLR today, Kilkenny auctioneer, Fran Grincell, says it should never have been limited to new builds only.
