Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I am glad the Deputy thinks it is a good idea. However, he has failed to acknowledge that his definition of wealth is somebody else's roof under which they are sleeping at the moment. I will not put in place any kind of tax measure as the Deputy is proposing that has the risk of incentivising further landlords to leave the rental sector and exacerbating the kinds of difficulties to which the Deputy regularly and correctly points.
