Louise O'Reilly (Dublin Fingal, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I have raised this issue with the Minister previously, at which time he indicated he would ask the Department to examine it. The response received was to the effect that the Minister is not prepared to do anything. This is a growing problem not only in Fingal but across the country. There are people whose homes are effectively valueless yet they have to pay the property tax. I echo Deputy Daly's remarks and I also ask what is the Minister prepared to do for the people who are not currently captured by the current scheme but are in extreme distress?
