Alan Kelly (Tipperary North, Labour) | Oireachtas source

The State builds houses, yet people pay subsidised rents. If water is a human right, then surely food and housing are also human rights. However, the Opposition seem to be amenable to people making a contribution towards the costs relating to both. I have not seen any protest at a bus stop in respect of double taxation. Of course, the Opposition believes that nobody should ever be obliged to pay for anything. That is the real issue. Those in opposition also believe that we live in a utopia in which everything is free.
