Conor Lenihan (Dublin South West, Fianna Fail)

It is very relevant; the Deputy's party was talking about reducing business costs. His party has direct responsibility for local authorities, along with the Labour Party, up and down this country and Fine Gael has signally done nothing to reduce the rates bill and in some cases the rates bill is bigger in Dublin than the rent bill for many businesses. His party has shown nothing and the first chance they got they did nothing.
