If Senator Gilroy wants to come in he can express a wish to speak and I am sure the Chairman will allow him to do so.

When the abolition of the local property tax was proposed we called for the reinstatement of the second home tax to ensure that properties being used for commercial purposes would be subject to a property tax. The Minister also misrepresented Sinn Féin's position on a wealth tax which is that family homes, or any home, over €1 million would be subject to a wealth tax. The Minister could at least read what is proposed. He is taking Sinn Féin's proposal and reducing it to whether we would tax cows or farm sheds.
