With the increase in hospital and local authority charges to name but two, we are yet again spending considerable time debating tax increases and broken Government promises. The tax may have been passed by the Dáil on 12 December 2002 but it was passed with the support of the Government parties, not the Opposition. It angers and galls me to see two Deputies from my constituency, one from Fianna Fáil and the other from the Progressive Democrats, claim that they had had no act or part in the increase in motor vehicle tax.
