Section 1 reads: "In this Act "Principal Act" means the Finance (Local Property Tax) Act 2012." We have spent more than one hour debating the Title. For most of that time, we have listened to Opposition Deputies lamenting the fact that we do not have time to debate the amendments. I have a certain deal of sympathy for the Deputies in that regard, given the fact that 67 amendments have been tabled, but I have no sympathy for their tactics. These same tactics were applied during the debate on the main legislation before Christmas.
