“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.
