Mary White (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I am delighted to welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Nash, to the Seanad again. This morning I attended a senior citizens residents' association meeting where I live and a key issue for the people attending related to charges, including property tax and water charges. These are two unfair taxes on people who are not well off. This reminds me of Mrs. Thatcher's poll tax debacle and it will have serious consequences for the Government in the forthcoming election.

The Irish Water utility has been an unmitigated disaster for Fianna Fáil.I will start again.
