Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I put it to the Deputy that she has opposed tax relief for renters in the form of the indexation of tax bands and credits that the Government introduced yesterday. She is resolutely opposed to that. That will give relief to those who are renting at present through reductions in income tax as a result of those measures. The Deputy opposes that, and she has articulated her opposition to it.

With regard to the HAP payments and so forth, these are real people who are renting right now.
