I would like to make one more point. I do not like voting for a property tax if it leads to hardship for people. A reasonable majority of people know the difficulties that we are in and are quite prepared to pay, and 40% of properties in Donegal would not have to pay more than ยค90. When Donegal people compare that sum with what their cousins in Strabane and Derry are paying, they will discover it is about one-tenth of the amount.
