Housing and Valuation Bills
Senator Byrne protests that the housing and Valuation Bills are absent while the Seanad debates history, calling this a dereliction of duty amid serious national problems.
A housing Bill has been taken off the agenda, even though there is a massive housing crisis.
Comment on this
The Valuation Bill which aims to reduce commercial rates for businesses has been off the agenda for the last year. What is happening about the serious issues and problems the country is facing? As the Parliament, we are abandoning them today to have a history lesson. It is disgraceful, outrageous and a dereliction of duty.
