Niall Collins (Limerick West, Fianna Fail)

That is fine, but the revenue is coming in to the central Exchequer so it is important from that point of view. We must raise revenue. We recently had a debate about hangar 6 when both Labour and Fine Gael adopted positions on it. I did not hear Opposition Members then calling on either Aer Lingus or Ryanair to reduced their charges or fees for passengers. Let us have some equity in this debate. I note that the motion refers to "the significant burden of local authority rates".
