Pat Rabbitte (Dublin South West, Labour)

I am grateful to the Ceann Comhairle. While the Taoiseach refuses to answer the question of whether he will sign the contracts, even if he does sign them, we will do everything we can to examine the tax sections that allow the write-down in capital allowances to the investors who will build these super private clinics. Investors who put their money into these super private clinics should be well advised that if it is legally possible — I think a Government always has the sovereign right to change a tax section — we will make those changes if this side of the House is returned to Government.
