Michael Noonan (Limerick City, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

We are all in the same profession, and Deputy Mattie McGrath knows what is regarded as extremely unfair in housing estates is where the local authority comes in and buys a house and puts in a person in need of social housing who pays rent there as a tenant while everybody along the road is paying mortgages. When it comes to property tax I believe everybody on the road should pay a small amount in accordance with his or her capacity to pay. This is fairness.
