Michael McGrath (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

As is the tradition, as an Opposition party, we are preparing our budget submission, which will be published in November - well in advance of the budget. It will set out a taxation package to meet our overall requirements. I have asked the Minister a simple question, which he has refused to answer so far. Has he raised with the troika the possibility of substituting other taxation measures for the property tax in December's budget?
