RTE reporting that that EU Commission is to publicly criticise Minister Coveney's FTB incentive and rent cap schemes as being "incompatible with efforts to increase [housing] supply".
The Commission is also apparently critical of the delayed introduction of the vacant site levy until 2018 and will repeat its opposition to FF's Bill to give the Central Bank price-fixing powers in the mortgage market.
All the Commission's criticisms seem entirely reasonable to me.
