This is the first budget to contain a sweetheart letter. This is from our good friend, the Minister, Deputy Roche:

Mr. Dick Roche, TD, Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, invites interested parties to make submissions in relation to the rebalancing of annual motor taxes to provide an alternative through the motor tax system for the motoring public to drive cleaner cars and to impose penalties in respect of cars with higher CO2 emission levels. [Deputy Treacy did not have the chance to read this lovely little letter.] This invitation will be published on my website ... submissions received will also be published on the website. [So what I say to him will be up there.] Submissions may be e-mailed to motortax@environ.ie or posted. [This is the good part.] All submissions should be received at the latest by 1 March 2007.
