Speech: 2020 shouldn’t be Dublin’s year of the tax cut

Dublin City Council cut local property tax as much as they could this year. I think that’s a mistake and voted for a modest increase. Here’s my speech on the night:

Surely the lesson of 2020 is just how important public services are to our city.

This shouldn't be yet another year where Dublin City Council cuts taxes for the wealthy at the expense of public services, yet that's exactly how the vote tonight went: 34 to 21.
