We will raise the matter of inviting the President with the Committee on Procedure and Privileges. Senator Mooney called on the Minister for Finance or the Minister of State, Deputy Hayes, to come to the House to discuss the issue of high debt and low growth. The Senator would agree that these two Ministers in particular have been very generous with their time in coming to the House, especially when the country holds the EU Presidency. We will invite them nonetheless. The Minister made comments about property tax and water charges, which the previous Government signed up to.
