I move amendment No. 103:

In page 100, between lines 34 and 35, to insert the following: “Report on restricting banks from carrying forward losses

60. The Minister shall, within 6 months of the passing of this Act, prepare and lay before Dáil Éireann a report on restricting the banks from carrying forward losses against taxable profits in a manner which could result in many institutions paying no corporation tax for the foreseeable future by introducing a 25 per cent cap on profit that can be written off by carried forward losses in any given year and an absolute ten year limit on the use of loss for this purpose.”.

I will withdraw this amendment but reserve the right to reintroduce it on Report Stage
