Thomas Byrne (Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Members of this committee know not to mess with the Chairman. We have all learned that over the past couple of years and it works well. I welcome the witnesses from the Revenue Commissioners and compliment them. I could not put it any better than Deputy Joe Higgins, who was absolutely right in regard to the use of an alibi. I said on local radio this week that these hearings were a disgrace and that the Revenue Commissioners were being hauled in to answer questions. My personal choice has always been not to support this tax.
