Yes. In fairness, Fianna Fáil did not envisage that the charge should be paid in these types of situation. It is all down to the finer detail in the legislation, which was highlighted during the debate on the household tax legislation. Will the Leader bring this matter to the attention of the Ministers for Finance and the Environment, Community and Local Government with a view to providing an amnesty to everyone who has been affected? People may be willing to pay €200 per year but they cannot pay a bill of €4,000 and an amnesty should be considered. I may call for an Adjournment debate on this matter next week.
