The Minister talks about the unfairness and I agree that one way or another the majority of citizens fund private health insurance but the Minister recognises the importance of the insurance sector. It is likely that premiums will continue to increase. Therefore even with this reduction as the premium increases the tax liability on the State increases too. Does the Minister envisage further measures down the line to reduce the amount of relief available or is this a final commitment and that thresholds will not be moved further?
