Aideen Hayden (Labour) | Oireachtas source

I thank Senator Darragh O'Brien for that point of information. As somebody who lives in Dublin, who is very well aware of the costs involved and who deals with housing-related matters all the time, I am of the view that our tax must be fair. When amenity value is not subjected to tax, then it is not a fair system. There is a need to have an appraisal of this tax. I believe it must be amended. Valuations should be fair and take into account the realities of the lives that people in this country live.
