The €50 fee is giving rise to a great deal of trouble. Senator Ó Murchú referred to the urban-rural divide. I must remind Senator Cullinane - because it appears to have slipped his mind - that it is not discriminatory to charge someone in a particular area €50 when one is also imposing development charges on those who live in urban and semi-urban areas. Members of Sinn Féin have not been heard shouting or roaring in respect of the latter.
