Seanad debates

Tuesday, 13 May 2003

It is very important where particular groups in society are given privileges or concessions in the public interest that these are not abused. I was disturbed last week to see a report in the Evening Herald that the heritage home scheme appeared to have been abused, that access had been denied to somebody during advertised visiting times and a sort of human Rottweiler set on them. The problem is that such incidences bring these schemes into discredit. Everyone, however wealthy, whatever their brilliant contribution to society has been, is subject to the same laws so that they are not brought into abuse. The same perhaps applies to taxi licences.
