Ciarán Lynch (Cork South Central, Labour)

Every July in this House stretching back several years since I came here first we have seen legislation rushed through the House as a result of the Green Party. Last year, we had the second home tax, which became a debacle because of caravans, mobile homes and granny flats. The year before we had the introduction of the VRT regime, which brought the car industry to a halt.
