Further to what Dr. McDonnell just said, last week Fingal County Council increased its local property tax by reducing the 15% discount to 10%. That is an example of a local authority that increased a tax.

I apologise for missing Dr. McDonnell's presentation. He mentioned the huge tax expenditure on the 9% rate of VAT in the hospitality sector. In light of the earlier work NERI has done in this area, do any other tax expenditures scream out for us to close off? My colleagues may have asked this earlier.
