Finance (Local Property Tax) Bill 2012: Second Stage
7:35 pm
John Gilroy (Labour) | Oireachtas source
It could only happen in Ireland that people would promote a measure they oppose and oppose a measure they favour. It is unbelievable. All afternoon we have discussed the budget which has been called unfair and regressive because we are required to reduce the provision of services. Within the hour, the same people who were promoting an increase in tax are now opposed to it. It is populism at its worst.
