It is unacceptable for Dublin to be discriminated against. I agree with Deputy Kevin Humphreys in regard to future property taxes in Dublin in the context of changing house prices. This raises the question of how property tax is calculated. There are ways of making a fairer calculation across the country. Being from the county that has always gotten the least from the Local Government Fund, I will be watching developments closely to ensure we are not deprived of funding, particularly in regard to the housing crisis.
