Deputies deal daily with people who are under huge financial strain. They are aware of the financial position of the country. This is a new tax and if people are experiencing financial hardship, they should be given a fair hearing. When will the Revenue Commissioners commence a publicity campaign on this issue? Ms Feehily has provided considerable detail today which has not been available thus far, which is welcome. Many elderly people like to have queries dealt with by telephone. When will the campaign begin?
