The
 Government’s  Housing For All – A New Housing Plan for Ireland  
proposed a new tax to activate vacant land for residential purposes as a
 part of the Pathway to Increasing New Housing Supply. The Residential 
Zoned Land Tax was introduced by the  Finance Act 2021. The
 dataset contains the land identified as being covered by the tax from 
all of the local authorities in the state.  The available datasets will 
comprise the draft maps, published on 1 November 2022 and the 
supplemental maps, published on 1 May 2023.The
 dataset will identify serviced land in cities, towns and villages which
 is residentially zoned and ‘vacant or idle’ mixed use land. The lands 
identified on the maps are considered capable of increasing housing 
supply as a consequence. Certain settlements will not be identified due to lack of capacity or services or due to out of date zonings. The dataset will also identify the amount in hectares of zoned serviced land for each settlement.
