Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 2 February 2012
160 Deputy Billy Timmins asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the position regarding the household charge; where a property is let, whether the tenant pay the household charge rather than the landlord, as the landlord pays the €200 second home charge; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
