I can consult the Bills Office but the essence of what I am trying to achieve could not be simpler. I would have thought the Minister would be the one offering to come forward with the clear wording on Report Stage given that he was not happy with the wording of my amendment. The essence of what I am saying is that if millions of euro of taxpayers' money is going to political parties and some of it is going to Members of the Oireachtas who are not members of political party, the least the public would expect is that tax certificates should be produced in respect of whoever or whatever entity is receiving that money.
