The chair of the Oireachtas finance committee has hit out at his Government colleagues for "by-passing democracy" by "bulldozing" through legislation.

It comes as Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe has pressed ahead with fast-tracking a controversial property tax bill through all stages of the Dáil next week ahead of the summer break.
