Michael Mulcahy (Dublin South Central, Fianna Fail)

The current rates of stamp duty are too high. I accept what the Minister has said. If he had cut the rates of stamp duty, sellers might have simply pocketed the difference. There is a serious problem. Nevertheless, I propose that the issue of stamp duty should be examined by a committee of the Oireachtas, perhaps over a period of years.
