It is for €140,000 for the 2025 Estimate under appropriations-in-aid. There is a reference to income of €140,000 under "miscellaneous capital". There is a large current figure there but I am wondering what the capital amount relates to.
It is probably too soon to realise the impact of having to employ additional staff or systems in order to collect tariffs. We do not know if tariffs are coming in or not, but there is no allowance or contingency made for that. If tariffs do materialise, do the Revenue Commissioners anticipate an extra operational cost to deal with that? If so, why do we not have a contingency figure?
