Request for property tax debate

Summary

Senator Healy Eames asks for a debate on making the property tax affordable and allowing payment deferrals, while attributing the country’s financial position to Fianna Fáil.

We all knew this budget would be tough. Every year it gets harder. I will be honest that I am really angry with Fianna Fáil for its recklessnes.
