Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael)

We will have plenty of time to discuss this further.

I was very concerned at the information released to Deputy Burton that the queries from the European Union about stallion tax relief were not passed to the Minister. It seems an extraordinary lapse in procedures when there was a deadline of one month. Does this have implications for other elements of the tax code? For example, there are woodland reliefs and there are other areas where there is effectively a zero tax code. Are these also vulnerable to criticism as a form of State aid?
