Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 17:

In page 60, between lines 12 and 13, to insert the following:

25.---Section 10C of the Principal Act is amended by the deletion of "2010" in B, and the substitution of "2012".".

This amendment arises from proceedings on Committee Stage. I understand this issue is still a cause for concern in some sectors of the tourism industry. The golfing sector has been particularly affected, I understand, by the implementation of some tax rules. I wonder whether the Minister has received representations to the effect that this is creating difficulties for the sector in the current economic climate and whether he feels some further deferral would be appropriate.
