The Claire Byrne Show · Calls to abolish stamp duty for first time buyers · 8 Sep 2026 podcast

The

with Aviva Insurance.

Well, Clare, what I'm saying is that it wouldn't be my priority is the first thing I'd say.

And if you are going to look at a stamp duty cut,

then it can't be a universal stamp duty cut because it doesn't deal with the actual... That's not what he's saying.

What

don't you?

Well, it doesn't actually deal with the supply issues.

State only delivered 935 affordable homes last year.

That's the root of this issue.

And there are

a load of reports there in relation to the Help to Buy and the First Home scheme that actually show how inflationary both of those schemes were.

And the fact of the matter is that €3,000 to €5,000, I mean, everybody at budget time loves throwing these things around.

Simon Harris has apparently already rubbished it and he is the Minister for Finance.

So you're

Well, I am opposed to getting rid of stamp duty for first-time buyers universally.

because I think that there is a huge issue there around the fact that this is not going to, and it will actually disproportionately benefit those who have more money to spend on housing, because stamp duty is a percentage of the sale price of the home.

So if the home is worth €800,000, then that's eight grand.

So that will disproportionately benefit somebody who is actually wealthier.
