Shane Ross (Dublin South, Independent) | Oireachtas source

The people of south-east Dublin and other parts of Dublin deeply resent this tax. Apart from negative equity and other factors, the main reason for their resentment is that they will have to pay more than what will be paid for similar types of house outside Dublin. That is not fair. The Minister's refusal to make concessions on that, which has been well represented by the Members behind him, is a point I deeply regret.
