Is there any provision for enabling returning emigrants, about whom we hear so much, to avail of this scheme? I understand the Government has a plan to entice 70,000 of them to return home. Given that they might not have a tax liability in the four years prior to their purchase of a new home, are any amending provisions being made to accommodate them?
