- Seanad: Local Property Tax: Motion (30 May 2018)
Paddy Burke: The motion raises many issues. I hope the review of the local property tax will take account of some of the issues raised. My colleague from Mayo, Senator Michelle Mulherin, has raised this issue on many occasions at our parliamentary party meetings and in the House. She proposed a system where the starting point would be the rate at which the local property tax was set when initially. It...

- Seanad: Local Property Tax: Motion (30 May 2018)
Paddy Burke: I ask Senator Horkan to consider withdrawing the motion.

- Seanad: Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2016: Report Stage (Resumed) and Final Stage (13 Jun 2018)
Paddy Burke: I support the point made by Senator John O'Mahony about the vacant site tax. I agree with him that in some towns there are lands that could be developed.
