520 Mr. Bruton asked the Minister for Finance if his attention has been drawn to the fact that new houses valued at under €317,000 and under 125 square metres in size can lose their exemption from stamp duty when sold to first-time buyers if they do not have a compliance certificate showing they conform to building regulations; the reason such first-time buyers should be so penalised; and if the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government will be informed that it should find a new way of enforcing compliance with building standards other than through the stamp duty code.
