Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael)

Does the Minister agree that many people will find it unfair that in 2004 500 people earning more than €500,000 per annum paid less than the standard rate of tax? Does he propose to introduce any new reliefs? He stated reliefs should be time limited and specific. Will he also act on the third recommendation of the report, namely, that a cost benefit analysis be carried out to justify any new relief before its introduction? Will he act on this recommendation before any new reliefs are introduced?
