Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael)

The dormant financial assets Bill had been quite prominent on the Government's legislative programme. This appears to have disappeared from the programme. This Bill is important as, for example, customers due refunds by some of the banks, which have been found to have overcharged, might not be traceable resulting in funds to be dealt with. It would be appropriate that the Dáil should consider such legislation.

The Minister has announced a review of tax reliefs in the tax code. Does he intend publishing a Green Paper or a White Paper thereby involving the Oireachtas in the course of the review?
