Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis
Nexus Phase
Mr. Brian Cowen:
Yes, I was just going to come to that point. It was never a consideration, I have to admit, by us to bring in a property tax during that time. As you know, there had been very poor experiences in the introduction of property taxes in Ireland up to then. So to make the point that that time nowhere in the political firmament was there the idea that that would be a resolution to the problem.
