Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael)

Has the Tánaiste and Minister for Finance decided to foreshorten any proper debate on tax options?

Confusion has been created as to whether the provision of a tax clearance certificate is the same as an application for one. Will the Tánaiste clarify, or make provision in the Finance Bill in order that it is clarified, that individuals who apply for a tax clearance certificate have not fulfilled their requirements and no person can simply on application for a tax clearance certificate present himself or herself as being tax compliant?
